Hunter Biden found guilty on all counts in gun trialA verdict has been reached in the historic criminal trial of first son Hunter Biden, who was accused of lying about his drug use on a federal gun form in 2018.Hunter Biden faced charges of making a false statement in the purchase of a gun, making a false statement related to information required to be kept by a federally licensed gun dealer, and possession of a gun by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance.He pleaded not guilty in the case.
Hunter Biden has a well-documented history of drug abuse, which was most notably documented in his 2021 memoir, “Beautiful Things,” which walks readers through his previous need to smoke crack cocaine every 20 minutes, how his addiction was so prolific that he referred to himself as a “crack daddy” to drug dealers, and anecdotes revolving around drug deals, such as a Washington, D.C., crack dealer Biden nicknamed “Bicycles.”His defense team, led by attorney Abbe Lowell, did not dispute Hunter Biden’s long history with substance abuse, which also includes an addiction to alcohol, instead arguing that on the day Hunter Biden purchased the Cobra Colt .38, he did not consider himself an active drug addict, citing the first son’s sting in rehab ahead of the October 2018 purchase.This is an excerpt from an article by Fox News’ Emma ColtonPosted by Kyle Morris Share

Caleb Boggs Courthouse in Wilmington, DE.Caleb Boggs was a Republican senator from Delaware. Boggs, 63, a former two-term governor and the state’s senior senator, lost his seat in 1972 to then 29-year-old Joe Biden who would turn 30 just a few days after the election. Part of Biden’s campaign strategy was attacking his opponent’s age.
A local newspaper reported Biden saying of Boggs, “Caleb doesn’t want to run, he’s lost that old twinkle in his eye he used to have.” Biden became the 7th youngest senator in U.S. history.One month after the election, Biden’s wife Nelia and 1-year-old daughter Naomi were tragically killed in a car accident.

Trump has been remarkably quiet in regards to the trial of Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden.“I had a brother who suffered tremendously from alcoholism and alcohol,” Trump said on Sean Hannity, referring to his brother Fred Trump Jr, who died from alcoholism. “And it was a terrible thing to watch. He was an incredible guy with the best personality. He was the best-looking person you have ever seen. Everything was perfect. But he had an addiction.”When asked about the trial, Trump said “Look, I feel very badly for them in terms of the addiction part of what they have right now.”This stands in stark contrast to the 2020 election cycle where Hunter was a frequent target for Trump’s attacks, often citing the “laptop from hell” and regularly asking “Where is Hunter?” Posted by Anders Hagstrom ShareWhat does James Clapper have to do with Hunter Biden’s trial?James Clapper is the former director of National Intelligence under former President Barack Obama.Clapper signed the heavily scrutinized letter along with 50 additional former intelligence officials just weeks before the 2020 presidential election, claiming Hunter Biden’s laptop had “all the earmarks” of a Russian effort to influence the vote.The laptop was brought into federal court this week in Delaware during the first son’s criminal trial on charges brought against him by Special Counsel David Weiss.When asked if he regretted signing the letter in 2020, after the Justice Department formally acknowledged the laptop’s legitimacy, Clapper replied: “No.”Clapper also refused to publicly remove his name from the letter despite evidence proving the device and its contents were legitimate and would not concede he and the other former intelligence officials who signed on should have waited longer to weigh in.
The laptop, filled with videos and photos of drug use, sex acts and sensitive business communications, was shown to the jury last week during the trial in an effort to prove the president’s son lied about using drugs on a gun purchase form. Hunter Biden has pleaded not guilty.Posted by Anders Hagstrom ShareHere are five takeaways from the Hunter Biden trial so farSpecial Counsel David Weiss brought Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop to federal court as part of the first son’s federal gun trial, marking the first time the Justice Department has formally acknowledged and confirmed its existence and legitimacy after years of critics claiming it was Russian disinformation.
Hunter Biden’s daughter, Naomi Biden, took the stand and delivered an emotional testimony about her father’s drug use after the death of her uncle–his brother–Beau Biden. Hunter’s ex-romantic partners, including Beau Biden’s widow, testified to his past drug addiction. First Lady Jill Biden, Hunter Biden’s step-mother, has attended several days of his trial. President Biden has vowed not to pardon his son if he is convicted on federal gun charges. Fox News’ Brooke Singman contributed to this reportPosted by Anders Hagstrom Share

A verdict has been reached in the historic criminal trial of first son Hunter Biden, who was accused of lying about his drug use on a federal gun form in 2018.Hunter Biden faced charges of making a false statement in the purchase of a gun, making a false statement related to information required to be kept by a federally licensed gun dealer, and possession of a gun by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance.He pleaded not guilty in the case.Hunter Biden has a well-documented history of drug abuse, which was most notably documented in his 2021 memoir, “Beautiful Things,” which walks readers through his previous need to smoke crack cocaine every 20 minutes, how his addiction was so prolific that he referred to himself as a “crack daddy” to drug dealers, and anecdotes revolving around drug deals, such as a Washington, D.C., crack dealer Biden nicknamed “Bicycles.”
His defense team, led by attorney Abbe Lowell, did not dispute Hunter Biden’s long history with substance abuse, which also includes an addiction to alcohol, instead arguing that on the day Hunter Biden purchased the Cobra Colt .38, he did not consider himself an active drug addict, citing the first son’s sting in rehab ahead of the October 2018 purchase.This is an excerpt from an article by Fox News’ Emma ColtonPosted by Kyle Morris{{#rendered}}{{/rendered}}11:14 AM, June 11, 2024Verdict reached in Hunter Biden's federal gun crime trialHunter Biden, son of U.S. President Joe Biden, and his wife Melissa Cohen Biden walk outside the federal court as his trial on criminal gun charges continues, in Wilmington, Delaware, U.S., June 11, 2024.

“Gun violence is an issue that requires real leaders who aren’t afraid to stand up to the gun lobby.

Trump has been remarkably quiet in regards to the trial of Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden.
“I had a brother who suffered tremendously from alcoholism and alcohol,” Trump said on Sean Hannity, referring to his brother Fred Trump Jr, who died from alcoholism. “And it was a terrible thing to watch. He was an incredible guy with the best personality. He was the best-looking person you have ever seen. Everything was perfect. But he had an addiction.”When asked about the trial, Trump said “Look, I feel very badly for them in terms of the addiction part of what they have right now.”This stands in stark contrast to the 2020 election cycle where Hunter was a frequent target for Trump’s attacks, often citing the “laptop from hell” and regularly asking “Where is Hunter?” Posted by Anders Hagstrom06:54 AM, June 11, 2024What does James Clapper have to do with Hunter Biden's trial?James Clapper is the former director of National Intelligence under former President Barack Obama.Clapper signed the heavily scrutinized letter along with 50 additional former intelligence officials just weeks before the 2020 presidential election, claiming Hunter Biden’s laptop had “all the earmarks” of a Russian effort to influence the vote.The laptop was brought into federal court this week in Delaware during the first son’s criminal trial on charges brought against him by Special Counsel David Weiss.When asked if he regretted signing the letter in 2020, after the Justice Department formally acknowledged the laptop’s legitimacy, Clapper replied: “No.”Clapper also refused to publicly remove his name from the letter despite evidence proving the device and its contents were legitimate and would not concede he and the other former intelligence officials who signed on should have waited longer to weigh in.
The laptop, filled with videos and photos of drug use, sex acts and sensitive business communications, was shown to the jury last week during the trial in an effort to prove the president’s son lied about using drugs on a gun purchase form.
