Hunter Biden has been indicted in Delaware by special counsel David Weiss on three counts related to lying about being addicted to crack cocaine when he bought a gun nearly five years ago, New York Post reports.
Prominent GOP voices hit X (formerly “Twitter”) to react to the Biden bombshell.
“BREAKING: Hunter Biden has been indicted for three counts of federal gun charges But where are the indictments for tax fraud, FARA abuse, money laundering, and sex trafficking???” Marjorie Taylor Green said.

House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer called the charges a “small start.”
“Today’s charges against Hunter Biden are a very small start, but unless U.S. Attorney Weiss investigates everyone involved in the fraud schemes and influence peddling, it will be clear President Biden’s DOJ is protecting Hunter Biden and the big guy.”

GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy called the charges a “smokescreen.”
“Today’s indictment of Hunter Biden is a smokescreen. Don’t fall for it. This is a fig leaf designed to deflect attention away from the real problem: the Biden family is selling out U.S. foreign policy for their own family’s private financial gain. That’s really what’s wrong, and we must hold politicians in both major political parties when they use our foreign policy to enrich their family members.
The impeachment inquiry initiated by the House against President Biden is a step in the right direction, but the public shouldn’t fall for the trick of diverting attention away from the true problem. It’s also no accident that today’s indictment comes at a moment when President Biden’s own popularity within the Democratic Party is cratering. I predict this is the first step for the Democrat Party managerial class to pressure Joe Biden out of the race. Biden will become a sacrificial pawn in service to the deep state that wants to keep power at all costs.”

Donald Trump Jr. thinks the indictment is a precursor to another Trump indictment.
“Now that Hunter Biden has been indicted how many mins till Biden’s corrupt DOJ drops another Trump indictment to change the narrative? It’s nice to see something happen, though this is likely the excuse DOJ will use to pretend they’re fair when they give him slap on the wrist!”

Popular conservative commentator DC Draino questioned the reasons behind the indictment.
“Now that Matt Gaetz is pushing McCarthy to impeach Biden and dig deeper into Biden crime family corruption, did the DOJ just indict Hunter to stop him from being able to testify to Congress?”
