Hunter Biden's federal gun trial has resumed with an FBI agent taking the stand as the prosecution's first witness. In a heated opening statement, prosecutors referenced Hunter Biden's autobiography, where he admitted to frequent drug use, including smoking every 15 minutes, seven days a week. They also presented photos of drugs associated with Hunter Biden.
Today, the court expects testimony from Hunter Biden's ex-wife, Kathleen Buell, who can testify about finding drugs or drug paraphernalia in Hunter's car in 2018. Prosecutors aim to link Hunter's drug use to the gun he purchased that year, potentially leading to a conviction.
Prior to Ms. Buell's testimony, the FBI agent will continue presenting digital evidence, including text messages and photos from Hunter Biden's laptop. The agent also introduced excerpts from Hunter's memoir, where he described his ability to find drugs easily in any location.
It is important to note that Hunter Biden has pleaded not guilty to all charges. His defense team argues that while he has struggled with drug addiction in the past, the prosecution cannot prove that he was using drugs or aware of his addiction when he bought the gun.
The trial continues to unfold as the prosecution builds its case against Hunter Biden. Stay tuned for further developments as the proceedings progress.
