In this article, we will explore the circumstances surrounding the disposal of the gun and shed light on the individuals who were involved.
Background Information
Hunter Biden is a lawyer and consultant who has been involved in several business ventures over the years. In 2019, he was involved in a deal with a Ukrainian gas company called Burisma, which was criticized for being a conflict of interest due to his father’s role as Vice President. As a result, the allegations led to an official investigation by Congress into the matter.
In May 2020, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee conducted a review of Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings. As part of the review, they obtained documents from a former business partner of Hunter Biden, which revealed that he had used a gun for "sport" and had since disposed of it.
Who Put the Gun in the Dumpster?
According to Hunter Biden’s representatives, he had lent the gun to a friend, who had subsequently put it in a dumpster in Philadelphia. The friend, William Jacobs, reportedly forgot that he had placed the gun in the dumpster and it was later recovered by the Philadelphia Police Department.
In a statement to the media, Hunter Biden’s representatives said that "the gun was disposed of legally and followed all applicable laws and regulations." They also added that "Hunter Biden cooperated fully with the authorities and answered all questions related to the gun."
