close Video Hunter Biden can’t win this case: Leo Terrell Fox News’ Davis Spunt reports on the last hearing before Hunter Biden's June 3 gun trial and Fox News contributor Leo Terrell reacts on ‘The Faulkner Focus.’ Hunter Biden’s defense attorney Abbe Lowell seemed to telegraph a key element of his defense strategy in a Delaware federal court on Friday: who exactly filled out the key federal gun form at the center of the trial? The heart of the government’s case is that the president’s son checked a box on a government which stated that he was not using or addicted to drugs at the time he was purchasing a firearm — a violation of federal law in October 2018. At a hearing Friday, Lowell said there were indications the form was changed by employees after the sale.
Prosecutors, meanwhile, have said there were only minor additions unrelated to the parts Hunter Biden filled out. Abbe Lowell, attorney for Hunter Biden, was in federal court Friday for a hearing in regard to Hunter Biden's 2018 federal gun form.

The first was emailed on Oct. 26, 2018, and U.S.
District Judge Maryellen Noreika has allowed that form into evidence. There is also the physical version of the form which was filled out at the gun store. It was revealed at Friday’s hearing that a gun store employee, Gordon Cleveland, helped Hunter Biden fill out the form on that day.
Cleveland is likely to.
