The courtroom drama surrounding Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, continues to unfold as his ex-girlfriend, Hallie Biden, took the stand to testify about the chaotic events that led to his federal trial.
Hallie Biden, also the widow of Hunter’s late brother Beau, revealed that she “panicked” when she discovered a gun in Hunter’s car amidst piles of clothes and litter. This discovery set off a series of events that has now brought Hunter Biden to a federal courtroom in Delaware.
The trial, which began with prosecutors presenting evidence to jurors, centers around Hunter Biden’s alleged lies on a form about his drug use when purchasing the gun and ammunition in 2018. If convicted, he could face up to 25 years in prison.
Hallie Biden’s emotional testimony shed light on the couple’s struggles with drug use, with her revealing that she had stopped using crack cocaine in August 2018, while Hunter continued to use the drug. She described their relationship as “volatile” and detailed their battles with addiction.
The courtroom also heard about the moment Hallie found the gun in Hunter’s car and her subsequent actions out of fear for his safety and that of her children. She wrapped the gun in a leather pouch and disposed of it in a grocery store bin, sparking a frantic search when Hunter realized it was missing.
As Hunter Biden looked on intently, Hallie recounted their tumultuous relationship and her efforts to help him get sober. Text messages between the two revealed Hunter’s struggles with addiction, with Hallie pleading for him to seek help.
President Joe Biden, meanwhile, has continued his public duties as his son faces trial, stating in an interview that he would accept the outcome of the trial and not pardon Hunter if convicted. Hunter Biden also faces a separate trial in California in September on tax-related charges.
The courtroom drama surrounding Hunter Biden’s trial continues to captivate audiences as more witnesses take the stand and the case unfolds.
