HUNTER DOES 5th STEP IN COURT? –
June 6, 2024 – Testimony in Hunter Biden’s felony gun trial continued to take a highly personal tone Wednesday as both his ex-wife and a former girlfriend told a jury in Wilmington about his struggles with crack cocaine addictionHunter Biden faces three firearms felonies based on claims he lied about his addiction and drug use on a federal form he filled out to purchase a gun at a north Delaware store in October 2018. It is the first time in U.S. history that the child of a sitting president has faced a criminal trial.
Prosecutors contend they will show that he was a drug user prohibited from owning a firearm through excerpts from his memoir, his text messages, and those who knew him. Hunter Biden’s defense attorneys have said that prosecutors must show Hunter Biden knowingly lied on the form and that prosecutors can’t prove that, seeking to give jurors a narrative that Hunter Biden was in a failed period of recovery when he bought the gun.
Wednesday was the second day of trial testimony and the first day the jury heard statements from those who were once close to Hunter Biden.
