Hunter Biden's Delaware Gun Trial Nears End as Defense Rests Without His Testimony on Three Felony Charges

Jun 10, 2024, 02:15 PM

Hunter Biden's federal gun trial in Delaware is nearing its conclusion as the defense, led by lawyer Abbe Lowell, rests its case without calling him to testify. Biden faces three felony charges related to his purchase of a firearm in October 2018, during which he allegedly lied about his drug use on a federal form. The trial has included testimony from Biden's family members and former romantic partners, revealing details about his past drug addiction. Prosecutors argue that Biden knowingly made false statements to obtain the gun, while his defense claims the charges violate his Second Amendment rights. First Lady Jill Biden has shown support by attending the trial. Closing arguments are set to begin, and the jury is expected to start deliberations soon.
