Hunter Biden sister-in-law Hallie Biden describes finding gun in truck

Joe Biden's son accused of lying about drug use to buy gun. President says no pardon if convicted. Sister-in-law testified.

Hunter Biden, the son of US President Joe Biden, is facing accusations of lying about his illegal drug use when purchasing a gun. This revelation has caused a stir as it may have violated laws prohibiting drug users from owning firearms. The trial, taking place in Wilmington, Delaware, has seen the testimony of Hunter Biden's sister-in-law, Hallie Biden, who admitted to taking and discarding his gun out of fear for his life due to his addiction issues.

Surveillance footage presented in court showed Hallie Biden disposing of the gun in a supermarket trash bin, along with text messages expressing concern for Hunter Biden's well-being. The trial has shed light on Hunter Biden's past struggles with drug addiction, with witnesses testifying to his prolific drug use. Despite the charges against him, Hunter Biden has pleaded not guilty to failing to disclose his drug use when purchasing the weapon and illegally possessing it.

The trial has drawn comparisons to the recent criminal conviction of former President Donald Trump, with some claiming political motivations behind the prosecutions. However, Joe Biden has made it clear that he will not pardon his son if convicted, emphasizing that he will accept the trial's outcome.

Hallie Biden's testimony has provided insight into Hunter Biden's behavior and struggles with addiction. She recounted finding drug paraphernalia and the gun in his possession, leading her to dispose of it out of fear for the safety of her children. Despite her efforts to help him get his life in order, Hunter Biden's addiction issues persisted.

As the trial progresses, the defence has argued that there was no intent to deceive on Hunter Biden's part and that he may have considered himself sober at the time of purchasing the gun. The prosecution is expected to call its last witness soon, with the possibility of Hunter Biden testifying in his own defense.

If convicted on all charges, Hunter Biden could face up to 25 years in prison, though the actual sentence is likely to be shorter. The trial has highlighted the complexities of addiction and the legal implications of drug use, raising questions about accountability and personal responsibility.
