Hunter Biden gun trial: Prosecutors use voice, text messages to make case
The Washington Times ^ | June 4, 2024 | Jeff Mordock

WILMINGTON, Del. — Federal prosecutors used Hunter Biden’s voice and text messages to make the case Tuesday that President Biden’s son was a drug addict who lied on paperwork to obtain a revolver in 2018.

On the first day of testimony in the federal courtroom in Delaware, prosecutors played Hunter Biden’s audio narration of his memoir in which he detailed his drug use, and they showed jurors text messages in which he claimed to have smoked crack days after purchasing the weapon.

The jury also saw several videos, including one with a shirtless Hunter Biden holding what appeared to be a crack pipe. Another video showed a white substance on a scale.

Testifying for the prosecution, FBI Special Agent Erika Jensen detailed expletive-laced, panicked texts between Hunter Biden and Hallie Biden, the widow of his brother, Beau, and his onetime romantic partner. In the texts, Hunter Biden angrily berated her for throwing away his gun and warned that it would trigger a federal investigation.

Ms. Jensen also verified in her testimony that a laptop recovered from a Delaware repair shop in 2019 belonged to Hunter Biden.

Prosecutors said Hunter Biden’s words prove he was abusing drugs when he filled out a federal firearms application in October 2018 claiming he was not an “unlawful user” of controlled substances. Hunter Biden faces three felony charges of lying on a gun form.

I haven’t seen any transcripts or anything specific, but the early reports seem to indicate that the prosecutor is going all out. I thought they might just sandbag the case to get it over and get a not guilty verdict. But they’ve already put some damaging stuff out there.

Are they having Hunter’s trials now in case Joe isn’t re-elected and wouldn’t be able to pardon him?

Joe won’t pardon Hunter until after the election. Two months to go all out if the election isn’t stolen.

Too bad they let the worst charges expire.

Of course, with Trump, that wasn’t a problem with them.

Did they put Lesley Wolf in charge of Jury Selection?

It looks to me they tried to throw the case in Jury Selection. You can’t have this Jury by chance.



Lesley Wolf tipped off the Bidens that a search warrant would be executed at a storage facility, among other things.

And it would be a crap shoot asking for a bench trial the way many of these judges rule.

He won’t pardon Hunter, b/c Hunter won’t be convicted of a felony. The jury will make sure of it.

They said the 54 yr old Hunter would score drugs in his Daddy’s Cadillac.

The obvious inference being if he was found during the exchange, all layers of LE would let him go and collect points from Joe.

Why in the world do they keep up the facade of a single laptop. There were three of them that the idiot (smartest man the dumbest man knows) dropped off that day.

Thank you. I heard the Hunter’s drfense says that he “never took the gun out of the box”.

Well I guess no crime.

Anybody know what exactly he bought?

Wasn’t a problem in EITHER of the NY based trials for Trump (the Bragg BS case, or the even more stupid E. Jean Carroll trial).

(D) emoKKKrats will just make a new law allowing the old accusations that have expired, but only if the charges are against Trump (or perhaps against a known anti-Liberal).
