Hallie Biden and Hunter Biden Case: Involvement of Secret Services

United States Secret Service Got Itself Into The Case Of Hallie Biden & Hunter Biden’s Gun

Hallie Biden & Hunter Biden’s gun

Two years ago, two family members of President Joe Biden got into a bizarre incident. The incident revolves around his son Hunter Biden, his gun and his ex-sister-in-law Hallie Biden, in which Hallie Biden took Hunter Biden’s gun and threw it in a trash can behind a grocery store, only to return later to find it gone.

When Delaware police started investigating, they got concerned about the missing gun. As indicated by law enforcement officials and a copy of the police report got by POLITICO, that the garbage bin was opposite a high school and that the missing gun could be a part of a crime and it must have been used in it.

However, something curious occurred at that point during the investigation when the Secret Service specialists moved towards the owner of the store where Hunter Biden purchased the gun and asked the owner to take out the paperwork including the deal, according to two individuals, one of whom has firsthand information on the scene and the different was advised by a Secret Service agent after the fact.

Ron Palmieri, the gun store owner rejected to give the paperwork, suspecting that the Secret Service officers wanted to hide Hunter Biden’s responsibility for missing gun that was suspected to be involved in a crime. Later own, Ron Palmieri, turned over the papers to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, which administrates federal gun laws.

According to The Secret Service, it has no record of its agents investigating the incident, and Joe Biden. He wasn’t under security when the incident happened, said through a spokesperson he has no knowledge of any Secret Service involvement.

Gun was unexpectedly returned by an older man

Few days later, the gun was returned by an older man, who routinely hunts through the supermarket’s junk to collect recyclable things, as indicated by people acquainted with the situation. Unfortunately, the incident did not bring out any charges or arrests.

But, the supposed involvement of the Secret Service stays a secret. One law enforcement official said that at the time of the incident, there was one Secret Service specialists at the office’s workplaces in Wilmington, Del., and Philadelphia kept a casual hand in keeping up the previous Vice President’s security. The person was referred to an occasion in 2019 when the Wilmington office of the Secret Service called the Delaware State Police to organize security for a public appearance by Biden.

The Secret Service declined to respond to a question about whether it had casual involvement in Biden’s security during this period or not. Asked whether the Secret Service demanded state police security for Biden during the period when he was not under the protection of agency. A Delaware State Police representative said,

“I have reached out to our sergeant who oversees the Executive Protection Unit with the Delaware State Police. He is unaware of any such requests or services provided.”

According to law enforcement officials, any involvement by the Secret Service on behalf of the Biden family or on its own drive would be improper interference in an incident that was already being investigated by Delaware State Police along with the involvement of the FBI.

Later on, POLITICO acquired copies of the Firearms Transaction Record and a receipt for the gun dated Oct. 12, 2018. Then Hunter Biden reacted ‘NO’ to an inquiry on the transaction record that ask,

“Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?”

Five year earlier Hunter has been released from the Navy Reserve after testing positive for cocaine and he and relatives have spoken about his history of drug use. Lying on the form is a lawful offense. However prosecutions for it are really uncommon. Neither Hallie Biden nor George Mesires, a lawyer for Hunter Biden, responded to demands for input.

The gun-store incident happened during a period after Hunter Biden’s administrative discharge from the Naval Reserves for his positive cocaine test and his following divorce from his first wife, Kathleen. At the time of the gun incident, Hunter Biden was in a romantic relationship with his ex-sister-in-law Hallie, the widow of his late brother, Beau.

How it all started?

The incident began when Hallie looked Hunter’s pickup. According to the Delaware State Police report, it was parked at her home in Wilmington, because of undetermined “doubts she had,” Inside the truck, she found a .38 revolver. That when Hallie took the gun to her nearby high-end grocery store, Janssen’s Market where the Biden are long term regular customers. There, she threw the gun, which was wrapped by a black shopping bag, into a garbage can outside of the store.

Later that day, according to the police report, Hallie informed Hunter of what she had done, and he asked her to retrieve the gun. But when Hallie returned to the grocery store, she found that the gun was missing from the garbage bin and reported the issue to the store. Police started getting calls from the store’s senior supervisor, Paula Janssen, and from another person too, according to the report.

According to the police, the missing gun heightened their concerns because of the fact that the grocery store is right across the street from Alexis I. du Pont High School.

Delaware State Police recovered surveillance camera footage from the store and interviewed Janssen, the head supervisor where he told POLITICO that,

“We complied with the police and gave them whatever security footage we could.”

Hunter Biden & Hallie Biden Got into an Investigation by FBI

At the time, The Federal Bureau of Investigation eventually responded to the scene and they started monitoring Hunter Biden as part of an investigation that remains ongoing and that currently focuses on his taxes. The FBI declined to comment.

While investigation Hallie Biden, the police also called in Hunter Biden for investigation where he was interrogated outside the store’s loading dock area and explained he used the gun for target practice, according to the report.

At one point, two of Janssen’s employees were described by the police report as “Mexican males,” as they walked past the loading dock area. According to the report, Hunter told a police officer that the store had some suspicious people working for it. Asked by investigators, if he was referring to those two staffers, Hunter responded, “Yea, prolly illegal.”

According to the report, when a police officer asked Hunter if the gun had been used in a crime, the officer reported that Hunter “became very exceptionally unsettled with me and asked me if I was intentionally attempting to make him mad.” Later on, when the officer asked Hunter, if he had been doing drugs or drinking heavily, he replied, “Listen, it isn’t like that. I think she believes I was gonna kill myself.” Hunter was also asked by an officer, if he had called his father about the incident before he arrived. Hunter responded, “I have never called my dad for anything.”

As per the report, after being investigated, Hunter retrieved the case for the gun which included the gun’s serial number from Hallie’s home and gotten back to the supermarket to hand gun over to police.

While police interrogated Hunter and Hallie, two Secret Service specialists showed up at the store where Hunter had bought the gun, StarQuest Shooters and Survival Supply in Wilmington. The specialists showed their identifications and badges to the storekeeper, Palmieri and requested to claim the Firearms Transaction Record that Hunter had filed out to purchase the gun earlier that month.

Palmieri refused to hand over the transaction record to the Secret Service specialists in light of the fact that such records fall under the domain of the ATF. The Secret Service specialists left without the records but day after the ATF showed up at the store to examine the records. Palmieri declined to remark on the scene.

ATF representative Andre Miller indicated inquiries to the Delaware State Police. Jason Hatchell, a representative for the Delaware State Police, said any questions regarding the incident would need to be documented through a Freedom of Information Act Request. The Delaware State Police previously dismissed POLITICO’s FOIA demand for records related to the incident on November, 2018.

The Case Got Closed & No one was Charged or Arrested

The incident has received little attention, save for a report on the conservative website The Blaze that focused on the state police decision not to file charges against either Hunter Biden or Hallie Biden.

A Secret Service representative said the organization has no record of involvement in the incident:

“United States Secret Service records affirm that the organization didn’t give security to any individual from the Biden family in 2018, and that the Secret Service had no contribution in this supposed episode.”

Biden and his family had been under nonstop security by the Secret Service during his eight years as Vice President from 2009 to 2017. Biden’s Secret Service detail continued in March 2020 after he secured the Democratic official nomination.

A White House spokesperson said that Biden was not aware of any Secret Service involvement in the episode, President Joe Biden did not have any knowledge of or involvement in, the Secret Service’s alleged role in this incident, and neither he nor any family member was a protectee at that time.”
