Prosecutor Alleges Hunter Biden's Habitual Drug Use Before Gun Purchase

During the trial of Hunter Biden for allegedly lying on a background check form to purchase a gun in 2018, Prosecutor Leo Wise presented compelling evidence to the jurors regarding Biden's drug use habits.

Wise informed the jurors that there was evidence indicating that Hunter Biden had a history of using illegal drugs, which continued around the time of the gun purchase. He described Biden's drug use as habitual, starting years before the gun purchase and persisting for months after.

According to Wise, Hunter Biden had allegedly lost control and was referred to as an 'addict' due to his drug use patterns.

One of the key arguments in Hunter Biden's defense is the lack of sufficient proof from the government that he was actively using drugs at the time of the gun purchase. Wise presented a series of text messages and images to the jurors, suggesting that Biden had been coordinating with drug dealers to obtain crack cocaine and consume the drug.

Wise highlighted how the messages indicated that Hunter Biden had met with drug dealers in the days surrounding the gun purchase, further implicating his involvement in drug-related activities.

Additionally, Wise referenced Hunter Biden's memoir, describing it as 'searingly painful' but containing personal and honest information that, in his opinion, supports the prosecution's case against Biden.

The trial continues as both the prosecution and defense present their arguments and evidence to the jurors to determine the outcome of the case.
