Stripper ex-lover testifies about Hunter Biden's attempts to get clean

Zoe Kestan, Hunter Biden's ex-girlfriend, testified Wednesday under immunity about his efforts to overcome his drug addiction in 2018.

Kestan testified that the two discussed getting Hunter clean while they were staying at a Four Seasons Hotel. She said he talked about a drug called Combo, venom from a frog that would make you “purge,” which he hoped would help his addiction.

She said that two weeks later, they stayed at a hotel in Midtown Manhattan for about 10 days, where Hunter was trying Combo and had burns on his arm.

“I thought it worked," she told the court, but added that within 20 minutes he was smoking crack again.

Kestan testified that while staying at a separate hotel called The Mercer at a later date, she told Hunter she might move to California to launch a business.

"I love California … I think I could get sober if I go out there with you," Hunter said, according to her testimony.

She later added that it seemed his plan to get sober "had gone out the window" when his drug habit continued.

If the prosecution is using Hunter Biden's laptop as evidence, then the government also has proof of the prostitution, drug use, and activity with children...

And they aren't doing anything about it.

Jury shown gun Hunter Biden bought in 2018

StarQuest Shooters & Survival Supply employee Gordon Cleveland took the witness stand Wednesday and was asked by the prosecution to walk them through the day Hunter Biden purchased a firearm, October 12, 2018.

Cleveland said he saw Hunter pull up in the black Cadillac owned by Joe Biden and greet him without knowing who Hunter Biden was at the time.

Cleveland said that Hunter Biden came in and said he was looking for a firearm. When he asked specifics Hunter said he was looking for a revolver.

After looking through the store with Cleveland, Hunter eventually settled on a Colt Cobra, with customized wood grips

The prosecution, with permission of marshals, brought the actual gun out to display

Derek Hines, the prosecutor, brought the gun up to Cleveland and asked him to identify the make and read off the serial number

Mr. Hines then proceeded to show and display the Colt Cobra to the jury.

Gun store employee takes the stand in Hunter Biden trial

StarQuest Shooters & Survival Supply employee Gordon Cleveland has taken the stand.

The prosecution had indicated they planned to call on Cleveland, an employee of StarQuest Shooters & Survival Supply owner Ronald Palimere, who is believed to be the employee who sold Hunter Biden the gun at the center of the case.

StarQuest Shooters & Survival Supply is the Delaware store where Biden allegedly purchased the gun, a purchase prosecutors allege was made possible by Biden lying on a background check about his drug use during the purchase process.

Prosecutors are expected to question both Palimere and Cleveland about how and when the federal gun purchase form was filled out by Biden.

Cleveland's testimony comes on the third day of the trial, with the prosecution already calling FBI Agent Erica Jensen, Biden ex-girlfriend Zoe Kestan, and Biden's ex-wife Kathleen Buhle.

Biden faces 25 years in prison if convicted on all charges.

Hunter Biden told ex-girlfriend he'd 'always be an addict'



 Zoe Kestan, ex-girlfirend of Hunter Biden, testified that Hunter once told her that he would "always be an addict."

In September 2018, after spending time at their time at his house in Malibu, Kestan said she departed and did not see him again until mid November 2018. They were stayed in Massachusetts, and ended up in Providence, Rhode Island. Hunter was also looking for drugs. specifically cocaine of the time, Kestan testified. According to her, Hunter also said he was on a ketamine treatment for addiction.

November 20, 2018 was the last time they ever saw each in person .

Prosecution ended its line of questioning with a follow up text message that Hunter sent a few weeks later to Zoe partially that read. “I can be sober but I’ll always be an addict”.

Krestan read that aloud in the court.

Immediately after, defense attorney Abbe Lowell began cross-examination and points out that from this time period, -- in late September through November -- Krestan had no contact with Hunter Biden and was not aware of what he was doing, his state of mind or anything else.

That timeframe covers the time of the gun purchase.

Gun store employee testifies Hunter Biden filled out drug portion of application for pistol

StarQuest Shooters & Survival Supply employee Gordon Cleveland testified that Hunter Biden filled out the portion of the gun application related to drugs.

Cleveland testified that he told Biden after he decided to buy the gun that he would need to fill out a form to complete the purchase.

Cleveland said he gave Biden the form, while Biden gave Cleveland his passport as a form of identification. Cleveland also testified that he was "two feet" from Biden as he filled out the form.

Shown the form by the prosecution and asked if that was the form Biden filled out, Cleveland responded with a "yes."

Cleveland also testified that he told Biden to fill out the form "truthfully," an to "take your time," while watching him fill out the form.

He further testified that he personally saw Biden fill out question 11e, which asks whether he was an unlawful user of or addict to drugs, with Cleveland saying he personally watched Biden check the "no" box.

Hunter’s Missing Gun Appears at Trial 6 Years Later

Wendell Husebø 5 Jun 2024

Hunter Biden’s missing revolver appeared at his gun trial after six years, when the FBI got involved in the case of a missing firearm tossed in a Delaware dumpster.

Text messages from Hunter previously revealed what appears to be a contradiction in an official Secret Service statement, which claimed the agency had “no involvement” in the incident involving Hallie Biden, Hunter’s ex lover, finding a gun “inside of Hunter Biden’s pickup” and tossing “it in a trash can behind a grocery store where they frequently shopped.” Yet Hunter’s text messages say, “The police the FBI the Secret Service came on the scene,” as Breitbart News reported in 2021.

The gun store owner who sold the weapon to Hunter reportedly refused to supply the paperwork to the Secret Service when it allegedly sought to retrieve it at the time of the incident, suspecting the agency’s officers would keep the documents away from scrutiny.

During Wednesday’s court proceedings, the prosecutors from the Justice Department produced the weapon for the jury and former gun shop employee Gordon Cleveland (who sold the gun to Hunter) to inspect. Jurors “craned their necks” to see the gun for Cleveland to verify. He verified it immediately, according to court reporters.

Cleveland told Hunter at the time of the gun purchase in 2018 to “take your time” in filling out the federal form before he bought it, Cleveland testified. He also said he watched Hunter mark “no” on the question of whether he was a user of illegal drugs.

Hunter used crack when he purchased the firearm, according to a wide variety of photos from the time on his abandoned laptop.

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.

The son of a Democrat politician argues that evidence should be disqualified because there was no chain of custody.

Hunter Biden trial: Gun salesman rejects defense portraying him as pushy

.

WILMINGTON, Delaware — A former gun store clerk defended his sales practices as he was grilled by Hunter Biden‘s attorney during the first son’s trial on Wednesday.

Gordon Cleveland, who sold Biden a revolver in 2018, testified that he was more interested in selling customers “quality” items than expensive ones.

Prosecutors called Cleveland, a trash truck driver and onetime employee of Starquest Shooters & Survival Supply, to the stand to testify about the interaction he had with Biden at the time of the purchase.

Special counsel David Weiss has alleged Biden lied about his drug use on a federal form to purchase a Colt Cobra and that he illegally retained the firearm for 11 days.

Cleveland testified that he watched Biden fill out the form, which prosecutors displayed as an exhibit to the courtroom. The form featured Biden’s signature and showed the first son had checked off “no” in response to a question about whether he was an unlawful drug user or drug addict.

He said Biden filled it out at a normal pace “like you would do with any form.”

Cleveland recalled how Biden had driven up to the store in a black Cadillac, walked into the small shop, and told the clerk he was looking for a revolver.

Testimony resumes after dispute over text message evidence

The jury was seated just after 9:30 Thursday and the defense continued their examination of gun store employee Gordon Cleveland.

Before the jury was seated there was an objection on the use of text messages between Hallie and Hunter Biden the defense was attempting to enter into evidence.

At issue was the way the texts were extracted from Hunter Biden's laptop, which varied slightly from the prosecution, who had limitations on what they could extract.

The decision was made that the prosecution will be able to check that each message the defense wants to introduce match what the government already has in their extraction report.

Hallie Biden, Hunter Biden's sister-in-law, arrived to court Thursday morning for day four of Hunter Biden's federal gun crime trial.


Hallie is among several potential witnesses who are expected to be called by the prosecution to testify in Hunter's trial. The pair were in a romantic relationship in 2018.

Hallie observed Hunter Biden using drugs on multiple occasions, according to prosecutors, and she and her children discovered drug paraphernalia and drugs in his possession when they searched his bags, backpacks and vehicle in an effort to help him get sober.

Hallie, prosecutors said ahead of the trial, "observed that the defendant frequently lost phones and changed phones, which explains gaps in time where there are no messages, and she also had various text message exchanges with the defendant."

Hallie Biden, the widowed wife of Hunter Biden's brother, Beau Biden, has been called to the stand in Hunter Biden's gun trial.

Hallie Biden, who was romantically involved with her brother-in-law following Beau's death in May of 2015, is expected to testify that Hunter Biden stayed at her home during the fall of 2018 and that she and her children found drugs in his possession multiple times. Hunter Biden also recently generated controversy for visiting Hallie Biden just days before the trial began.

Prosecutors previously called FBI agent Erika Jensen, Hunter Biden's ex-girlfriend Zoe Kestan, Hunter Biden's ex-wife Kathleen Buhle, and gun salesman Gordon Cleveland to testify.

Prosecutors have continued to build the case that Hunter Biden was addicted to drugs at the time he purchased a weapon and lied about his drug use on a federal firearms form.

If convicted on all charges , Biden faces a maximum of 25 years in prison.

Surveillance footage shows Hallie Biden throwing away Hunter's gun, returning later to look for it

During court Thursday, Hallie Biden recalled the day of October 23, 2018, when she found the gun in Hunter Biden's car and threw it in a trash can outside Janssen's Market.

Hallie said that she was cleaning Hunter's car and found the gun, bullets, and remnants of what she believed to be drugs. Hallie described feeling "panicked" and "wanted to get rid" of the gun because she "didn't want him to hurt himself."

The gun Hunter had purchased from Starquest Shooters and Survival Supply in Wilmington, Delaware, was shown to Hallie in court. She confirmed it looked the same as the one she found that day.

Upon finding the gun, Hallie went back into the house to look for something to put it in. She found a small "gift bag." Hallie then found the brown leather pouch and put the gun inside, then put the pouch with the firearm in it and the bullets in the shopping bag.

Asked what Hunter would normally keep in the brown leather bag, Hallie said "Sometimes business cards, sometimes drugs."

Hallie said she took the gun to the Janssens Market up the road and threw it away in a trash can outside the store, a claim that was backed up by surveillance footage shown in court.

Surveillance footage from October 23, 2018 was played for the court showed Hallie drive up in a BMW. The footage showed her getting out of the car, grabbing the bag with the firearm in it from the back seat, and throwing it away in a trash can. She keeps walking and goes into the grocery store.

"I realize it was a stupid idea now, but I was panicking," Hallie said.

After finding out what happened, Hallie said Hunter told her to go to the store, look for the gun, and if it wasn't there to file a police report since it was registered in his name.

Surveillance footage played for the court showed Hallie going back to the Janssen's Market to look for the gun. Hallie was seen quickly getting out of her car and walking very fast to the trash can. The gun was not there. She was then seen running around looking for the gun. Hallie said she went into the grocery store and asked if the trash had been taken out. Hallie said she then filed the police report at Janssen's Market.

Biden says he will not pardon Hunter, will respect son’s trial verdicts

.

President Joe Biden pledged not to pardon his son Hunter Biden as he faces a federal gun crimes trial in Delaware.

During an interview in Normandy, France, where Joe Biden is commemorating the 80th anniversary of D-Day, the president provided a one-word response when asked by ABC whether he had ruled out using his clemency powers in the two federal cases against his son, the other relating to alleged tax evasion.

“Yes,” Joe Biden told the network, according to excerpts before the interview airs in its entirety Thursday night.

Hunter Biden is on trial in Delaware on charges he lied on paperwork to obtain a firearm and illegally carried the weapon despite being addicted to drugs. He has also been indicted in California on nine additional tax-related counts, including tax evasion, with those proceedings expected to start in September.

World News Tonight anchor David Muir, too, asked Joe Biden whether he would respect the verdicts in Hunter Biden’s trials.

“Yes,” Joe Biden said.

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."

Defense attorneys try to cast doubt on Hunter Biden's text messages

Defense attorneys have attempted to cast doubt on text messages that Hunter Biden seemingly indicates he was doing crack or readying to meet a crack dealer.

The defense focused on two texts from October 13th and 14th, around the same time Biden allegedly lied to purchase a gun from a Delaware gun store, noting that Hallie Biden texted Hunter to ask if he was with someone, which Hallie confirmed she suspected could be a woman.

Hunter Biden responded that he was waiting for a dealer named Mookie, but the defense attempted to cast doubt on the idea, arguing that Biden would have actually been with a woman.

The defense also brought up the October 14, 2018 text in which Hunter told Hallie he was sleeping on a car smoking crack, with the defense asking if she actually knows that Biden was actually engaged in that activity at the time of the text.

Hallie Biden responded "no" to the defense question.

Defense attorneys scramble to get additional texts into evidence, confusing jury

Defense attorney Abbe Lowell sought to enter certain text messages between Hallie Biden and Hunter Biden into evidence, confusing the jury and others in court.

Lowell and the defense team are trying to introduce some new texts into evidence. Leo Wise and the prosecution team are complaining because they only got notice about these texts at 11:07 p.m. last night, and they haven’t had time to review them, and don’t know the source, other than they came from the 18,000 pages worth of data from the laptop.

It seems Lowell and his team thought the government had everything and knows where everything is, when it comes to the laptop. Wise explained that’s not the case, the data goes through a filter team, and it’s possible that the defense team has texts that the government has not even seen yet.

Wise wants to know where these texts are in the laptop. Judge Noreika peppered the defense with questions about this before the jury came in this morning. That process went on for nearly 30 minutes. Lowell and his team are scrambling to get that information to the prosecution, but they said they won’t have it today and Judge Noreika is not waiting on anything to keep the case moving forward.

During his cross-examination of Hallie, Lowell attempted to suggest that Hunter was lying to Hallie when he said on October 13, 2018, (the day after he bought the gun) that he was behind Blue Rocks Stadium “waiting for a dealer named Mookie…” and the next day when he texted Hallie that he was “sleeping on a car smoking crack…”

Lowell introduced the texts from Hallie that preceded both of those texts. On the 13th, Hallie texted Hunter – Why won’t you answer my calls? Where are you? Are you with someone? Hunter replied with the now infamous text about waiting for the drug dealer named Mookie.

Did you think he was with a dealer or a woman, Lowell asked. “A woman,” replied Hallie.

Do you know if he was there? “I do not," she said.

On October 14, 2018, Hallie texted Hunter: I called you “500 times” and you don’t answer. “Practice what you preach.” Hunter replied with another now infamous text that claimed he was sleeping on a car smoking crack.

You have no idea if he was actually there, asked Lowell. “Correct,” Hallie answered.

Lowell sought to suggest that Hunter was lying to Hallie and that he wasn’t actually smoking crack on either of those days, and therefore maybe wasn’t “addicted” to crack cocaine when he bought the gun on October 12, 2018.

During cross-examination under questioning by the defense, Hallie appeared confused after Lowell handed her a binder of texts to and from Hunter. Hallie was to only examine the binder if she could not recall a specific question Lowell asked her about her exchanges with Hunter back in 2018. She sometimes looked at the binder without being instructed to do so.

When answering Lowell, she often appeared hesitant to respond – slightly shaking her head no while speaking. The judge jumped in to explain the legal process.

Hallie was unsure when she should look at the binder. When Lowell directed her to look at the binder, he told her the wrong row number at least twice, compounding the confusion.

The judge rolled her eyes at Lowell at one point, when he asked if he could read in one of Hallie's texts.
