And no refiled tax evasion charges, either.
Special Counsel David Weiss on Wednesday indicted Hunter Biden on three criminal charges related to his possession of a firearm.
Hunter Biden was charged with one count of false statement in the purchase of a firearm, one count of possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance, and one count of false statement related to information required to be kept by federal firearms licensed dealer.
Hunter could potentially face prison time.
Meanwhile, Hunter Biden is suing a former Trump official for releasing photos which Hunter claims are not his from a laptop that also isn't his.
He's claiming Invasion of Privacy of Someone Else Entirely.
Hunter Biden's legal team filed a lawsuit Wednesday against former Trump White House aide, Garrett Ziegler, over the publication of private photos, emails and other materials that came from a hard drive allegedly belonging to Hunter Biden.
The lawsuit is the latest in a strategy Biden's lawyers telegraphed earlier this year, which involved an aggressive push to pursue court action against those they viewed as instigating unwarranted and invasive attacks on Biden, the son of President Joe Biden.
Ziegler has been a particularly notable figure in the effort to bring attention to Hunter Biden's past -- largely mined from the now-infamous laptop. Ziegler, a former aide to Trump White House trade adviser Peter Navarro, has operated a website dedicated in part to exposing elements of Hunter Biden's past. The website includes links to a range of photos, text messages, emails and other documents purported to be from the president's son.
The 13-page lawsuit alleges that Ziegler and others violated federal and California privacy laws by "accessing, tampering with, manipulating, altering, copying and damaging computer data" gathered from Hunter Biden's purported laptop and iPhone cloud storage without consent.
The lawsuit details how Ziegler and unnamed defendants allegedly obtained sensitive materials by hacking into encrypted data on Hunter Biden's devices and uploading them to Ziegler's website, where it remains public. In the lawsuit, Hunter Biden's lawyers assert that the defendants had refused requests to "cease their unlawful activity" and return private data belonging to the president's son.

In a recent interview with Puck News, Brock stated:
Gloves are off, families are on ... We've been looking into how the children of those same members may have benefited from their parents' position. Were not shy about going after the members ... This work has been ongoing, and we will soon have more to share publicly ...

I'm sure no Insider Information was exchanged here.
President Biden's niece -- while working at the Obama administration's Treasury Department -- shared tips with first son Hunter Biden about China's largest government wealth fund, which he later sought as a potential investment opportunity, according to emails on his abandoned laptop.
Casey Owens, the daughter of first sister Valerie Biden Owens, notified her cousin and his business partners at now-defunct Rosemont Seneca Advisors about an investment conference held by China Investment Corporation (CIC) while working as a special assistant for the department's US-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue, an April 12, 2010, email shows.
"FYI on recent CIC investment conference at a resort in Sanya, on Hainan Island, over the weekend of March 27-28," Owens wrote to Hunter and his partner Eric Schwerin in the missive from her official Treasury email account, along with text from an article by AsianInvestor.com.
