WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — The prosecution has rested its case against the president’s son Hunter, who is accused of lying on a federal gun-purchase form when he said he wasn’t using drugs at the time he bought a revolver in 2018.
Prosecutors say Hunter Biden was actively using drugs and purposefully lied on the form. They called his ex-wife and a former girlfriend to testify that his drug use was habitual. His brother’s widow, Hallie Biden, also testified about how she found the unloaded gun in his truck, wrapped it in a bag and tossed it in a garbage can at a nearby market. Police later found it.
He has pleaded not guilty. Defense lawyer Abbe Lowell has said Hunter Biden did not believe he had a serious drug problem at the time of the purchase and that there was no attempt to deceive anyone.
The defense may now choose to call witnesses.
