Jonathan Turley reveals why Hunter Biden isn't pleading guilty in gun trial: 'This is Biden town'
Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley joined "America's Newsroom" on Thursday to discuss what he believes to be "astonishing" about Hunter Biden's gun case and answer why he believes the president's son has pleaded guilty.
Turley, a Constitutional law professor, said he believed the prosecution in Hunter's trial was doing an "amazingly good job"
"This is a very disciplined case. What's really astonishing is how fast all of the defense's put forward by Abbe Lowell collapsed within 48 hours," Turley said. "There was a long argument that the laptop was tampered with. [The prosecution] put on an agent who said there's no tampering here, this is real and authentic."
"[The Defense] said that Hunter Biden wasn't doing drugs when he signed that [gun form]. They have a text from him the next day trying to score drugs from a guy named Mookie, and the day after that doing drugs on the hood of a car, according to texts."
Turley also referenced the gun shop employee who testified that Hunter Biden filled out the gun form and said, "So, all of these defenses collapsed shortly after they were stated by the defense."
"That leads to this question of why isn't he just pleading guilty. This is an open and shut case. It's obvious he was doing drugs and signed the form falsely," Turley said. "That might keep him out of jail, it would've certainly avoided an embarrassing trial."
"The answer is: This is Biden town. This is a Biden who is standing trial in his hometown and this is the opposite of Manhattan," Turley added. "Here, the jury pool could not be better for the defendant, and I think the defense is using a nullification strategy."
