Hunter Biden’s ex-wife takes then stand in the federal trial around Hunter’s purchase of a gun while denying his drug use and addiction.
On Wednesday, Hunter Biden's gun trial testimony is set to resume in Delaware, with his ex-wife Kathleen Buhle anticipated as one of the witnesses. The couple, who were married for over two decades, share a history marred by Hunter's infidelity and substance abuse, leading to their divorce in 2016, as detailed in Buhle's memoir, "If We Break."
Expected to join Buhle in the witness stand are various members of the Biden family and close friends, contributing to a trial that has evolved into an intimate exploration of Hunter Biden's struggles with addiction and past errors, all against the backdrop of the looming 2024 presidential election. Concerns mount among allies of President Biden regarding the potential impact on him as a father, deeply invested in the well-being and recovery of his only surviving son.
Prosecutors underscore the significance of the testimonies, aiming to establish Hunter Biden's state of mind at the time of firearm purchase. The charges against him include falsifying information on a federal form during the gun purchase process and unlawful possession of a firearm by a person addicted to controlled substances.
Addressing the jury, prosecutor Derek Hines emphasizes the gravity of Hunter Biden's actions, emphasizing that despite his status, no one is exempt from the consequences of lying on a federal form. Hines contends that Hunter's decision to acquire a firearm under false pretenses is the crux of the case, driving home the importance of accountability in the legal process.
