An attorney for Hunter Biden is disputing a picture included in a Special Counsel Filing last week, saying it is not cocaine, as was previously described, but sawdust.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The picture in question was among multiple photographs the president\u2019s son allegedly took of his drug abuse. The Justice Department included the photos in a court filing last week to prove Hunter Biden was addicted to drugs when he answered \u2018No\u2019 to drug use on a gun application, which is a violation of federal law.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hunter Biden\u2019s lawyer said one of the photos was taken in the office of his then-psychiatrist, Dr. Keith Ablow. Ablow had received the picture, Biden\u2019s lawyer said, from a \u2018master carpenter\u2019 who was a \u2018coke addict.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

The message accompanying this photo, Biden\u2019s lawyer said in the court filing, was meant to convey to the younger Biden that he too \u2018could overcome any addiction.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

Biden\u2019s lawyer called the prosecution \u2018reckless\u2019 for \u2018making such a hyperbolic and sensational claim in a public filing,\u2019 saying the move would surely \u2018prejudice Mr. Biden in the public eye.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018Mistaking sawdust for cocaine sounds more like a storyline from one of the 1980s Police Academy comedies than what should be expected in a high-profile prosecution by the U.S. Department of Justice,\u2019 Biden\u2019s lawyer stated in the court filing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital has reached out to the Justice Department for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The president\u2019s son pleaded not guilty to federal gun charges in U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware in October, which accused him of lying about using drugs in October 2018 on a gun purchase form.<\/p>\n

He previously acknowledged that he struggled with a crack cocaine addiction during a period in 2018, but his attorneys said he did not break the law. Hunter Biden has since said he has stopped using drugs and has been working to turn his life around.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tuesday\u2019s court filing comes after Special Counsel David Weiss charged an FBI informant with giving false information after he alleged that Joe Biden and his son were paid millions in exchange for their help firing the Ukrainian prosecutor who was investigating the Ukrainian energy firm Burisma Holdings.\u00a0<\/p>\n
