Hunter Biden drove Joe Biden's Cadillac to store to purchase gun, defense says

During opening statements, Hunter Biden's defense attorney said that Hunter Biden drove his father's Cadillac to the gun store to purchase the firearm in question in his criminal trial.

Abbe Lowell on Tuesday morning said that Hunter drove the car to a cell phone store and while there, he went across the street to the gun store and ended up purchasing the gun.

Lowell argued that Hunter was abusing alcohol and not drugs when he purchased the gun and when he said he was not a user, his understanding was that he was not at that point. The defense also argued that Hunter Biden was rushed into the gun sale by a salesperson that wanted to make the sale.

The defense also argued that the prosecution will not adequately establish chain of custody re: gun pouch with cocaine residue. They argue that Hallie Biden “freaked out” when she found Hunter’s gun in the console of his car, put it in that pouch, threw it in a garbage can outside a grocery store, and that someone rummaging through garbage found it. Then the police tracked it down and it’s been sitting in evidence for five years.

Hunter is charged with one count of making false statements in a firearm purchase, another count of making a false statement related to information required to be kept by a licensed firearm dealer, and one count of possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance.

If he is found guilty on all charges, he could face a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison. Each count also carries a maximum fine of $250,000 and three years of supervised release.

INSIDE THE COURT: Jurors appear bored at ongoing evidence of Hunter Biden's addiction

Jurors appear increasingly bored with first witness testimony, which has largely focused on Hunter Biden's audio book version of Beautiful Things. Some jurors are slumped over in their chairs, have their heads in their hands as Hunter's narration of the book is heard in court.

Biden has periodically looked over to study the jurors, most notably when they enter and exit the courtroom.

Biden has been engaged throughout court proceedings - whispering to defense team, reading along with excerpts of Beautiful Things while taking his light orange framed reading glasses on and off. He sometimes appears tense as he fidgets with pen and runs his hands through his hair.

First Lady Jill Biden is sitting in the front row, with her daughter Ashley and daughter in law Melissa sitting on either side of her. Jill keeps her focus towards the judge and defense team - seldom looking around the court. She also has a small booklet of papers folded over that she has taken out at least twice to read/write notes. The papers are returned to her clutch handbag.

Hunter Biden’s memoir recalling ‘crackhead wisdom’ played in court, Ashley Biden in tears

The prosecution played excerpts of Hunter Biden's memoir, "Beautiful Things," in court Tuesday morning read in Hunter's voice.

The excerpts include references to "crackhead wisdom," “the ability to find crack in any town," "crack takes you into the deepest recesses of your soul and the worst parts of town.”

“When I could, I tried to buy from a user instead of a dealer," Hunter Biden said in another part of the audiobook. "I could get off a plan in Timbuktu and find some crack."

Ashley Biden, Hunter's sister, was seen patting her face with a tissue while the audiobook was read. First Lady Jill Biden then put her arm around Ashley.

Matt Whitaker: How can Hunter Biden's lawyer defend this?
Former acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker on the details of the Hunter Biden gun trial and Letitia James previously campaigning on going after former President Donald Trump.

"It's going to be a compelling story for this jury," Whitaker said. "Essentially the elements of the crime are very simple, and that's one of the things about this case... this is a well-worn path to justice in this case. Compare that to what happened in New York City where they're still debating over what crime Donald Trump was convicted of."

Whitaker also touched on First Lady Jill Biden being in court, noting that the Biden family is likely well-known by many of the jurors.

"This is very much a home court advantage for the Biden family and having Jill Biden as the first lady walk into court and sit behind Hunter. It sends a very clear message to that jury, who are again, citizens of Delaware," Whitaker said.

Prosecution's first witness is sworn in for testimony

FBI agent Erika Jensen, the prosecution's first witness, took the stand shortly after 11:30 a.m.

Prosecutor Derek Hines asked Jensen a handful of biographical questions at the beginning of her testimony.

Jensen said her duties are to investigate violations of federal criminal law and that she was assigned in fall 2023 to investigate Hunter Biden.

Paper copies with excerpts of Hunter Biden's book, "Beautiful Things," were shown on the screen. The prosecution also played audio from Hunter’s audiobook - of Hunters own voice - for the court as they go through the pages.

Jensen confirmed that she and other agents picked these pages as evidence of addiction and use of drugs - specifically during a four-year period from 2015 to 2019. Jensen said she focused on mentions in the book from 2015 to 2019 to find admissions of guilt about an addiction to drugs.

Prosecutors show Hunter Biden's gun transaction document revealing key detail



 The prosecution introduced a firearm transaction form into evidence Tuesday that shows Hunter Biden's signature, and a box marked "no" next to the question 11 section e regarding use of illegal drugs.

Last month, Hunter's attorney Abbe Lowell during the pre-trial period questioned whether someone else may have checked “no” since there are other signatures on following pages of the document. But he has yet to formally bring that up during trial.

Prosecutor: Hallie Biden to Testify About ‘Embarrassing’ Use of Crack with Hunter Biden

Wendell Husebø 4 Jun 2024

Hallie Biden, the ex of Hunter Biden and widow of his brother, will testify about her use of crack with Hunter, prosecutor Derek Hines said during Tuesday’s opening statements of the gun trial.

Hallie, 50, dated Hunter in 2018 and found a Colt Cobra .38 handgun in Hunter Biden’s truck outside her home, prosecutors say. Hallie dumped the gun in a nearby grocery store trash bin, according to prosecutors.

Hunter used crack when he purchased the firearm, a wide variety of photos from the time on his abandoned laptop show. The Secret Service allegedly intervened in the investigation of that incident.

Hunter Biden is charged with one count of false statement in the purchase of a firearm, one count of possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance, and one count of false statement related to information required to be kept by a federal firearms licensed dealer.

Hines said Hallie’s testimony would be “embarrassing” but necessary, according to court reporters.

The prosecution will call several additional witnesses, including Gordon Cleveland, who sold the gun to Hunter Biden at Starquest Shooters, NBC News reported:

    Hines revealed that both Hallie Biden and Zoe Kestan, a woman who was romantically involved with Hunter Biden, will be testifying under immunity agreements.

    The prosecution will also call Kathleen Buhle, the ex-wife of Hunter Biden who shares three daughters with him and who did not use drugs herself. Kathleen will not be testifying under any immunity agreement.

    Laying out the three charges against Hunter, Hines emphasized that on the third count, concerning his possession of the gun for 11 days, Hunter did not get rid of the gun by choice. “The only reason he had the gun for 11 days is because Hallie took it from him,” he said.

The judge barred TV, audio, and Slack messages at Hunter’s trial, so court reporters have to rely “on notes, runners, or for reporters to come out of the courthouse in person,” CNN reported.

The case is United States v. Hunter Biden, No. 24-1703 in the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

Is Hunter Biden Pursuing a Jury Nullification Strategy?
June 5, 2024

Below is my column in The Hill on the start of the Hunter Biden trial and the elements of a classic jury nullification strategy by the defense. It is not clear that it will work in an otherwise open-and-shut case, but it might. What is clear is that it may be all that Biden has short of the Rapture.

Here is the column:

There was an interesting development this week in the Hunter Biden gun trial: the fact that there will indeed be a Hunter Biden gun trial.

That development is surprising only because there do not appear to be any facts in dispute in this case. And the primary witness against Hunter Biden will be Hunter Biden himself.  ...

While Hunter could always throw in the towel before the start of testimony, there is currently no discernible strategy beyond hoping that a pending case in the Supreme Court might undermine the indictment.

There may also be another possible strategy in play: jury nullification.

Unlike Donald Trump in Manhattan, Delaware is Biden country. The chance that he will get strong supporters of his father on the jury is an almost statistical certainty. In 2020, Joe Biden received roughly 60 percent of the vote over Donald Trump in the state. Having first lady Jill Biden, who is extremely popular, at the trial will only reinforce the connection.  ...

Hunter Biden arrived to the Delaware courthouse for day three of his federal gun crime trial on Wednesday.

Biden walked into the courthouse at roughly 8:40 a.m. alongside his wife and his attorney, Abbe Lowell. First Lady Jill Biden arrived and entered the courthouse shortly after her step son.

Wednesday's proceedings will begin with the cross examination of FBI Agent Erica Jensen, who testified on Tuesday about Biden's drug addiction.

Biden faces charges of making false statements in the purchase of a firearm; making a false statement related to information required to be kept by a licensed firearm dealer; and one count of possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance.

With all counts combined, the total maximum prison time for the charges could be up to 25 years. Each count carries a maximum fine of $250,000 and three years of supervised release.

Hunter Biden's attorney Abe Lowell began his cross-examination of FBI agent Erika Jensen by going back to Hunter Biden's memoir, "Beautiful Things".

Lowell asked Jensen about how she noted the drug binges that he talked about in chapter 7, 8 and nine from his period in 2016 to 2019 and how she noted every instance of a drug binge during this period

Lowell then asked if she noted in the book of a similar drug binge when he returned it to the East Coast in the fall of 2018 something a kin to needing to be on crack, or searching for drugs constantly. This was during the time of gun purchase.

FBI agent Jensen says she couldn't recall any similar binges that she noted in the book during this time period.

Lowell then went to proceed to go through the bank records that the government introduced yesterday as exhibits

In particular, he noted during the month of October 2018, that Hunter made eight purchases at liquor stores or alcohol related grocery stores during that time. Lowell seems to be trying to indicate that Hunter Biden was using alcohol at the time when the decision to purchase the gun was made.

Lowell noted on Tuesday that the gun application form Biden is accused of lying on had a section to declare addiction to drugs, but not alcohol.Jill Biden is in court wearing her bright pink suit is sitting right behind Hunter. Hunter's current wife, Melissa Cohen is sitting to her right.

Hunter has a similar demeanor as he had yesterday. He goes switches between looking the screen in front of him to looking at Lowell, who is questioning the witness, to staring straight ahead.

Defense attorney casts doubt on drug references in Hunter Biden texts

Hunter Biden's defense team attempted to cast doubt on Biden's references to drugs in text messages around the time of the purchase of the gun.

In cross examination of FBI Agent Erika Jensen, the defense pointed to two texts from October 13 and 14, 2018, the first and second day following the gun purchase, in which Biden texted Hallie Biden that he was "waiting for a dealer named Mookie." The defense asks Jensen whether she knows where Biden was when the message was sent or if she knows Mookie exists, garnering a response of "no" from Jensen on both questions.

The defense then turns to the October 14 text in which Biden tells Hallie Biden he was :sleeping on a car smoking crack." The defense asks Jensen whether she knows where Biden was when he sent that message, garnering another "no" response from Jensen.

The defense then points to all text messages between October 8th and October 24th, 2018, and asks Jensen whether there were any other references to drugs in this time period, with Jensen once again responding with "no."

Defense attempts to argue that Hunter Biden's cash withdrawals weren't tied to alleged crimes

The defense team attempted to throw cold water on the prosecution's suggestion that Hunter Biden's cash withdrawals were tied to alleged crimes, such as the drugs and gun purchase.

While questioning FBI special agent Erika Jensen under cross-examination, defense attorney Abbe Lowell went back to the bank records and transactions of the government that were introduced yesterday.

Lowell suggested that some of the cash from the withdrawals Jensen tried to link to the October 2018 gun purchase were spent by Biden on rehab, rent, and tuition for his daughter. He insisted the money was withdrawn for lots of reasons.

Jensen previously testified that Biden withdrew cash on October 12, 2018, to pay for the gun.

Lowell then returned to the ATF form about the gun purchase at the center of the case. They went through the handwriting on the form, noticing distinctions. Lowell asked Jensen if she was actually there observing who actually checked the boxes, etc. She responded she wasn't. Jensen also made clear said that she is not handwriting expert.

One notable distinction was that there were slashes on the zeros in some parts of the form but not other parts Biden would have filled out.

FBI agent testifies that Hunter Biden's laptop was not tampered with

After the defense's cross-examination of FBI special agent Erika Jensen concluded Wednesday, she was asked by prosecutors during redirect whether the contents of Hunter Biden's laptop had been tampered with.

Prosecutor Derek Hines began the redirect of Jensen by asking her if she had seen any evidence of tampering on Biden's laptop when the FBI obtained it. She responded, “No."

Hines also went to Biden's bank records from August 2018 and showed that they were not cash payments, but visa check card payments to the rehab facility, Airbnb, and to Sober Companion.

Additionally, Hines reviewed liquor store receipts. There were eight separate transactions from Oct. 1 to Oct. 30, 2018. They were all check cards, not cash.

Hunter Biden attorney Abbe Lowell previously suggested that some of the cash from the withdrawals Jensen tried to link to the October 2018 gun purchase were spent by Biden on rehab, rent, and tuition for his daughter. He insisted the money was withdrawn for lots of reasons.

Following the redirect of Jensen, court took a short break.

Kathleen Buhle, Hunter Biden's ex-wife, takes stand in gun trial



Kathleen Buhle, Hunter Biden's ex-wife, has taken the stand as the prosecution's second witness following a brief break by the court on Wednesday.

Biden and Buhle were married from 1993 to 2017. Buhle has spoken publicly about Biden's drug addiction and many affairs, including his sister-in-law and widow of his late brother, Beau, Hallie Biden, who is also a witness for the prosecution.

Buhle detailed difficulties in her marriage to Biden in a 2022 memoir titled, "If We Break: A Memoir of Marriage, Addiction, and Healing."

Prosecutors said that throughout 2018, Buhl would search Biden's car because "she did not want their children in a vehicle with drugs." She found drugs or drug paraphernalia about a dozen times, according to court documents. A 2018 text message exchange with Biden said, "I also found a few crack pipes. I took them out because our daughter was driving the car," according to prosecutors.

Hunter Biden's ex-wife testifies she learned of drug use after finding crack pipe on the porch

Hunter Bidens ex-wife, Kathleen Buhle, said during Wednesday's testimony she discovered Hunter Biden was using drugs when they were married and that she found a crack pipe on an ashtray on the side porch of their D.C. home on July 3, 2015.

She asked him about the pipe, to which he said he “acknowledged smoking crack."

Buhle said, however, that she was suspicious he was using drugs ahead of finding the crackpipe because she suspected Hunter was “kicked out of the Navy for testing positive for cocaine.”

She then recalled feeling “worried” and “scared” for him.

Buhle said when Hunter was using he was “not himself” and “angry, short tempered, and acting in ways he didn’t when he was sober.”

She also said he was “smoking crack the day after our anniversary.”

Buhle said she found a “broken pipe” “white powder” and “white crystals” in his car. She said from 2015 to 2019 she would search his car for drugs when he would lend his car to her daughters because “she wanted to make sure they weren’t driving with drugs.”

Wise asked if she would confirm she was checking his car for drugs in 2018, she said, “yes.”

Wise asked if Hunter hid the drug use from family and friends, to which Buhle responded, "yes."

Buhle was called to the stand and was sworn in at 11:34 am. Prosecutor Leo Wise is doing the questioning.

Biden and Buhle were married from 1993 to 2017. Buhle has spoken publicly about Biden's drug addiction and many affairs, including his sister-in-law and widow of his late brother, Beau, Hallie Biden, who is also a witness for the prosecution.

Hunter Biden's stripper ex-girlfriend testifies he smoked crack 'every 20 minutes' during 2018 trip

Zoe Kestan, Hunter Biden's ex-girlfriend, testified Wednesday under immunity that Biden would smoke crack "every 20 minutes" during a 2018 trip.

Kestan said she met Biden in December 2017 while working at a gentleman's club. It was late at night and she was offered to do one more private, 30-minute dance. She said she went into the room with another dancer and Biden was already in there, but she noted she didn't not know who he was at the time. Kestan said there was no music playing in the club since it was late, so Hunter pulled out his phone and started playing music. Kestan said they went into another room and Hunter pulled out a pipe and started smoking. She described it as "a type of pipe I'd never seen before," having a weird smell, and that she "assumed it to be crack cocaine." Kestan said Hunter was also drinking alcohol.

Kestan said after he started smoking that "he was the same charming person." She described Hunter as "incredibly charming" and "charismatic" during this interaction. Hunter proceeded to ask her to come back to his hotel room with him, to which she declined, but gave him her phone number. She said Hunter texted her the address of where he was staying, but she did not respond.

She said it was a week later that she was online and realized the man from the gentleman's club was Hunter Biden.

Kestan's next interaction with Hunter came around January 2018. Kestan said one of her friends was with Hunter at the SoHo Grand and told her to join them, so she went. Kestan said there was loud rock music playing upon entering the hotel room and she saw Hunter "smoking crack within the first 10 or 15 minutes" of her arrival. The three individuals - Hunter, Kestan, and another unnamed woman - hung out all day and went to dinner. The unnamed woman left, but Kestan stayed. Kestan said she stayed at the hotel with Hunter for five days.

During the five-day period, Kestan said that Hunter was smoking crack "every 20 minutes." Kestan added that when they would go out in public or to an event, Hunter would smoke crack "once an hour." One night, she said Hunter left for a business dinner. Kestan said Hunter's demeanor during this time was "charming" and that she "never saw an immediate change in his behavior" while he was smoking crack. She also said she "felt" for him because she knew people with drug addictions.

Kestan testified to hanging out with Biden at other points in 2018, including a meet-up at Atlantic City in February 2018.
