, President Joe Biden's only surviving son, faces three charges tied to the possession of a gun while using narcotics. He has
After collecting the gun, Greer took Hunter’s gun back to the police station and logged it into evidence where it remained until it was eventually transferred to federal custody. In cross-examination by Abbe Lowell, the defense attorney attempted to show that Marley didn’t really know too much about this situation. “I don’t think I ever even saw Ms. Biden,” Marley said after being asked. He also said he never went into the back office, where Hallie Biden was sitting the entire time with a store employee.He is expected to testify about his response to an incident at Janssen’s Market, what Hunter Biden had admitted, and about evidence recovered.
Fast forwarding a few days, Lowell introduced a text from Hallie Biden that she sent to Hunter Biden on Oct. 27. Prior to this, when returning to the courtroom from their lunch break, Lowell could be heard telling the prosecution: “It’s your phone records. And you know where it’s from.” The president and the first lady are traveling but a source familiar tells NBC News that"POTUS and FLOTUS have been asking for updates on trial and it’s definitely top of mind, even with their many commitments and engagements."During Hallie Biden's testimony, NBC News spoke with her new husband, John Hopkins Anning, who confirmed that they got married last weekend.
She appears nervous and uncomfortable on the stand, at times looking to the judge or to the gallery to indicate she’s not sure what the correct way to address a question is. Lowell acknowledged the difficult nature of trying to recall specific moments from nearly four years ago. “Reconstructing this is not easy,” he observed. “Yes,” she said.
Her memory seems to be hazy about this time period. In an effort to help her, Lowell created some timestamps: 8:30 a.m., she was back from dropping her kids, and 11:30 a.m., she dropped the gun in the trash at the grocery store.Hunter Biden’s lawyer Abbe Lowell seemed to suggest during his cross-examination that Hallie Biden's testimony is unreliable because Hunter Biden often lied to her about where he was or what he was doing.Lowell asked about her Oct.
These texts are the government’s clearest pieces of evidence that Hunter Biden was using drugs in October. It's notable because one of the ways the defense has attempted to preemptively undercut Hallie's testimony is by suggesting the president’s son would lie to her when he didn’t want to see her; this exchange implies Hallie Biden was aware that Hunter Biden would sometimes lie to her.
She said she couldn’t remember exactly what she did after throwing away the bag with the gun inside. “I was just so flustered from the whole thing,” she testified. “I realize it was a stupid idea now, but I was just panicking.” "I was afraid to, kind of, touch it,” she said, as to why she placed the gun and ammo inside Hunter’s leather pouch. Initially, she had tried to put the gun in a shopping bag, but it didn’t quite fit and a part was sticking out. She then looked around the car for something else to put the gun in, found the leather pouch, put the gun and ammo in there and then placed the pouch back inside the shopping bag.
She said he arrived at her house on the morning of Oct. 23. “I didn’t know where he was and I’d been trying to reach him for weeks,” she said. “He was tired, exhausted, looked like he hadn’t slept,” she said of Hunter’s condition that morning. The amount of crack that Hunter possessed at any given time ranged from a piece smaller than a marble to multiple crack rocks the size of ping pong balls, she said.
She said she didn’t know he was using crack until she discovered some in her Wilmington home while he was staying with her once their relationship began.He would smoke crack “occasionally” in her presence, she testified, saying that he continued to work and see family in between doing drugs. Hunter Biden began a romantic relationship with Hallie Biden and they were together at the time that Hunter Biden purchased the firearm. During opening statements, prosecutor Derek Hines said that Hunter Biden texted Hallie Biden the day after he bought the gun about meeting a drug dealer named"Mookie." And a day after that, he texted her that he was sleeping on a car smoking crack.
After the sidebar, Lowell returned to the language on the form regarding narcotics in 11.b-12, noting that it says that sale is prohibited to someone who “is” an unlawful user.“Have you ever been” versus “are you.” That rhetorical distinction has been the theme of Abbe Lowell’s questioning of Starquest Shooter employee Gordon Cleveland, as he retook the stand this morning for continued cross-examination.that Cleveland says he saw Hunter Biden fill out when he purchased the handgun.
