Special counsel David Weiss is planning to feature highly personal testimony about Hunter Biden‘s drug addiction during his trial on felony gun charges, seeking the testimony of three past romantic partners — including the first son’s ex-wife.
The expected prosecution witnesses in Biden’s trial include his ex-wife, Kathleen Buhle; Lunden Roberts, an Arkansas woman with whom he had a daughter; and Beau Biden’s widow, Hallie Biden, whom he also dated.
Prosecutors say one witness, who is believed to be Hallie Biden, will testify that President Joe Biden‘s son was in possession of a revolver in 2018 and that she took it from his car and placed it into a dumpster near a grocery store in Wilmington, Delaware.
Roberts’s testimony is also expected to be used to divulge Hunter Biden’s chronic crack cocaine use around the time of his possession of the gun. Prosecutors say she “observed the defendant using crack cocaine frequently — every 20 minutes except when he slept,” according to a court filing that does not name her specifically.
“The government intends to show videos and photographs of the defendant smoking crack, or of crack or drug paraphernalia in videos/photographs backed up to the defendant’s Apple iCloud account or laptop, or sent in the defendant’s messages,” prosecutors wrote.
Other witnesses whom Weiss plans to call include the gun store employee who allegedly sold the first son the revolver in 2018. Also introduced into evidence for the case is a 75-page list of text messages between Hunter Biden and friends and close family members at the time when he was struggling with drug addiction and in possession of the firearm.
The trial is expected to begin on June 3, and a three-judge panel has already rejected Hunter Biden’s request to overturn the trial judge’s rejection of several motions to dismiss the case.
