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.

--- Quote ---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.

--- Quote ---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.

The prosecution can produce incontrovertible evidence that Hunter did everything he was charged with, and this jury will still find him innocent.
