The president's son, Hunter Biden, has once again arrived at the federal courthouse in Delaware. The most anticipated order of business today is to determine if he will take the stand in his own defense regarding charges related to a 2018 gun purchase. Hunter Biden has pleaded not guilty to these charges.
If he chooses not to testify, closing arguments may commence shortly. The courtroom is currently filled with family members, including the president's sister and brother, offering their support. The defense has hinted at the possibility of Hunter Biden testifying, but this poses risks as the prosecution has warned of bringing up past issues such as a Navy discharge for drug use and tax charges.
Despite the risks, Hunter Biden has been vocal in defending himself publicly against Republicans. The decision on whether he will testify is imminent. The emotional testimony from Biden's daughter, Naomi Biden, on Friday added a personal touch to the trial. She mentioned concerns about his drug addiction in 2018 when he purchased the gun in question.
Prosecutors argue that Hunter Biden, being an addict at the time, lied on the government form to buy the firearm and broke the law by possessing it. He faces three charges related to this incident. The trial is at a critical juncture as the decision on Hunter Biden taking the stand is expected shortly.
