Prosecutors are set to present a case to a grand jury this month, seeking an indictment against Hunter Biden, as revealed in a recent court filing.
Dave Weiss, who transitioned from US Attorney for the state of Delaware to Special Counsel, is pursuing charges against Hunter Biden following the collapse of the DOJ’s sweetheart plea deal. The specific charges are unclear.
This development comes after an order from the judge overseeing the case, instructing the DOJ to provide an update on its anticipated timeline.

CNBC reported:
Federal prosecutors plan to ask a grand jury to indict Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, before Sept. 29, they revealed in a court filing Wednesday.
The charges that special counsel David Weiss will seek against Hunter Biden were not disclosed in the filing in U.S. District Court in Delaware.
The filing comes six weeks after a planned plea deal for Hunter to resolve charges of tax and weapons crimes fell apart when a judge questioned its conditions during a hearing in that court.
Unless there are unexpected delays requiring approval from the judge, the DOJ anticipates presenting an indictment to a grand jury by September 29, 2023. This potential charge relates to violations of Title 18, United States Code Sections 922 and 924, and relevant subsections. These sections address Hunter Biden’s alleged illegal purchase of a firearm while using narcotics.
