Hunter Biden’s trial on federal gun charges began with jury selection in Wilmington , Delaware on Monday. The first court sketches were released in the early afternoon. The son of President Joe Biden stands accused of having bought a handgun on 12 October 2018 while being an active user of crack cocaine.
The prosecutors will be relying on Biden’s memoir to make the case that he was a drug user when he bought a handgun at StarQuest Shooters & Survival Supply in Wilmington on 12 October 2018. While Biden, the son of President Joe Biden , didn’t mention buying a firearm in his memoir Beautiful Things , he did outline his drug use. Prosecutors have called the book “incriminating.
” The prosecution has noted that they possibly plan on attempting to prove that Biden used illegal drugs by pointing to texts he sent at the time. A number of those text messages came from an iCloud account they got access to via a subpoena and others were sourced from a laptop that Biden is reported to have left at a repair shop and never returned to collect..
