Hallie Biden , the widow of President Biden's son Beau Biden, could be called as a witness on Thursday in Hunter Biden's federal gun trial , where she would likely testify that she found and discarded the gun at the center of the charges. The prosecution said late Wednesday it had six more witnesses and plans on resting its case Thursday. Hallie Biden was on the initial witness list prosecutors presented to jurors during opening statements, although she wasn't called to the stand on Wednesday.
Hallie Biden's appearance would follow testimony from Hunter Biden's ex-wife, Kathleen Buhle , and Zoe Kasten, who was romantically involved with Hunter Biden from around 2017 to 2018. Buhle testified that while they were still married she confronted Hunter Biden after she found a "crack pipe" and said that, although she never saw him use drugs, he confirmed his drug use to her. Hunter Biden has been charged with three felonies stemming from his alleged purchase of a revolver in October 2018.
Two of the charges are related to accusations that he made false statements on a federal gun form about his drug use, certifying he was not a user of or addicted to any controlled substance during a period when prosecutors allege he was addicted to crack cocaine. The other charge is for allegedly owning the gun unlawfully. He was allegedly in possession of the gun for 11 days before Hallie Biden discarded the weapon.
Hunter Biden has pleaded not guilty to the charges. Hallie Biden departs from fede.
