Trio of Hunter Biden’s exes to be called in felony gun case: Prosecutors

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.

 Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop — which The Post exposed and he denied — will be used as evidence in gun case

So much for having “all the hallmarks” of Russian disinformation. So much for “it could be that I was hacked.”

Almost four full years after Big Tech suppressed The Post’s bombshell reporting on Hunter Biden’s abandoned “laptop from hell” with its evidence of influence-peddling, drug use, and other lurid activity, the device will take center stage in the first son’s federal trial on gun charges next month.

Special counsel David Weiss’ team made clear that it intends to use data from the notorious hard drive as evidence against the now-54-year-old.

“The defendant’s laptop is real (it will be introduced as a trial exhibit) and it contains significant evidence of the defendant’s guilt,” prosecutor Derek Hines wrote in a scathing filing Wednesday.

Hines underscored that the laptop data the special counsel will reference is “self-authenticating” and will be “introduced with corroborating evidence at trial.”

He also noted that prosecutors plan to use information from Hunter Biden’s iCloud data that came from “two separate and independent sources” — his iPad and iPhone XR.
