'Jesse Watters Primetime' demands public release of Hunter Biden's mugshot from court appearance
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Hunter Biden has taken the first steps towards pleading not guilty to the gun charges made last week against him.
Fox News' primetime show hosted by Jesse Watters revealed that their staff is trying to get hold of Hunter's mugshot from his July court appearance over misdemeanor charges.
The younger Biden has again landed in hot water for planning to attend his hearings remotely through a Zoom call, a move which Watters himself criticized.

Hunter Biden slammed for not attending court hearings in person
Hunter was charged with illegal possession of a firearm back in 2018 when he was an active drug user just a few days ago.
His indictment was based on the fact that, as a drug user, he was prohibited from possessing a firearm, although he nevertheless purchased a gun and lied about it on a federal form.
His attorney Abbe Lowell, according to CNN, requested for the remote attendance in a letter, saying, "Mr Biden also will enter a plea of not guilty, and there is no reason why he cannot utter those two words by video conference."
Fox News host Jesse Watters made the comparison between the indictments of Hunter and former President Donald Trump, who has had to face a huge number of felony charges in the past year, adding up to his four indictments.
"Donald Trump has had to fly all across the country for his indictments," Watters commented, "but Hunter can't fly to Delaware."
'Jesse Watters Primetime' wants Hunter Biden's mugshot
Watters addressed that when Hunter made his first court appearance for his tax misdemeanors back in July, he had to have his fingerprints taken along with a mugshot.
"Primetime sources tell us that Federal inmates rarely have their mugshots revealed to the public,"
Watters pointed out, "A leak would be very unlikely; The US Marshalls have a very rigorous digital footprint."
He then questioned why the mugshot was not being shared publicly, especially seeing how recently, Trump's first-ever mugshot gained international attention.
"This mugshot must be released," Watters said, "Primetime has put out a 'Freedom of Information' request to the DOJ and the US Marshalls to have Hunter Biden's mugshot released to the public
