Wilmington, Delaware – Hunter Biden’s legal team announced on Friday that a decision regarding his testimony in his ongoing gun trial will be made on Monday. The trial, now entering its second week, has seen emotional testimonies from family members, including Hunter Biden’s daughter, Naomi Biden.
With only three witnesses called by the defense so far, including Naomi Biden, the possibility of Hunter Biden taking the stand remains. President Biden’s brother, James “Jimmy” Biden, was expected to testify on Friday but the court adjourned earlier than planned, leaving the decision on Hunter Biden’s testimony pending.
The charges against Hunter Biden stem from his purchase of a revolver in October 2018, with prosecutors claiming he made false statements on a federal gun form regarding his drug use. The defense argues that Hunter Biden did not consider himself an addict at the time of the purchase.
Key witnesses, such as Hunter Biden’s ex-wife and ex-girlfriend, have testified, shedding light on his drug use and the events surrounding the gun’s possession and disposal. Hallie Biden, the widow of Hunter Biden’s brother, Beau Biden, also testified, providing crucial insights into his struggles with addiction.
The heart of the prosecution’s case lies in whether Hunter Biden knowingly lied about his drug use on the gun form. The defense maintains that addiction can cloud judgment and argues that Hunter Biden’s state of mind at the time should be considered.
Despite the high-profile nature of the trial, President Biden has not been present in court, although other members of the Biden family, including First Lady Jill Biden and Ashley Biden, have attended. The trial continues to unfold, with the final decision on Hunter Biden’s testimony expected to come soon.
