Chris Clark, Hunter’s former attorney,
made this threat in a letter to government prosecutors back in October
2022 after news came out that the Department of Justice had accumulated
enough evidence to warrant moving forward with an indictment according to Fox News.
Mr. Clark warned that if the DOJ brought up Hunter’s purchase of a
firearm while having a history of drug addiction then he’d bring in the
president who would “unquestionably” testify in his son’s favor.
Clark wrote, “President Biden now unquestionably would be a fact
witness for the defense in any criminal trial.”
Clark in the letter
argued that the move to indict his client by Biden’s Department of
Justice would open the prospect of a “constitutional crisis” when the
President who commands said department would testify in his son’s favor.
To that end, Clark wrote, “[t]his of all cases justifies neither the
spectacle of a sitting President testifying at a criminal trial nor the
potential for a resulting Constitutional crisis.” TP
