Hunter Biden faces charges of illegal possession of the firearm for an 11-day period.
Hunter Biden could potentially be sentenced to up to 25 years in prison if found guilty of all three federal counts. He is being accused of knowingly falsifying federal paperwork to purchase a revolver and ammunition from a Wilmington gun shop on October 12, 2018.
Biden has pleaded not guilty, with his legal team asserting that he was in recovery from addiction at the time of the purchase. During her testimony, Hunter Biden's ex-girlfriend revealed to the jury that he was regularly abusing crack cocaine, claiming he used the drug "every 20 minutes or so" when they first met. The trial, taking place in Wilmington, Delaware, centers on charges related to Biden's possession of a firearm while allegedly using narcotics.
Zoe Kestan, who encountered Mr. Biden, aged 54, during a "private dance" at a New York "gentleman's club," testified that he frequently withdrew cash for drug transactions. This trial marks the first instance of a sitting US president's child facing criminal charges.
The prosecution is set to conclude its case on Thursday, having called six additional witnesses, including Hallie Biden, Mr. Biden's former partner and the widow of his brother, along with Delaware state police officers, a DEA agent, and a forensic expert. Among the witnesses was Gordon Cleveland, a former employee of the gun store who sold Biden the firearm in 2018. During his testimony, Cleveland emphasized his instruction for all customers, including Biden, to complete the paperwork accurately.
The prosecution aims to demonstrate that Hunter Biden, who has written about his struggles with drug addiction, was using crack cocaine when he obtained the firearm. Hunter Biden's attorney, Abbe Lowell, argued in his opening remarks that the purchase was a result of aggressive sales tactics employed by Cleveland.
The question I have for readers is Why cant Hunter Biden Smoke Crack?
