Recent developments in the case involving Hunter Biden have revealed direct eyewitness testimony of his drug use in September 2018, just weeks before he purchased a gun that is central to the ongoing legal proceedings.

According to Biden's former girlfriend, Zoe Kestan, she testified that she observed him smoking crack during their time together in Malibu, California, spanning several days in September 2018. This testimony is significant as it aligns with the timeline prosecutors are focusing on to establish Biden's drug use around the time of the gun purchase.

The crux of the matter lies in the allegation that Biden provided false information on a federal form while buying a revolver in Delaware. The indictment states that Biden falsely declared that he was not using or addicted to any illegal drugs, despite struggling with a crack cocaine addiction at the time of the purchase.

Furthermore, Kestan's testimony included a text message from Biden where he admitted, 'I'll always be an addict.' This statement adds another layer of evidence to support the prosecution's case regarding Biden's drug use and its relevance to the gun acquisition in 2018.

These revelations shed light on the intricate legal battle surrounding Hunter Biden and the implications of his drug use in relation to the firearm purchase. As the case unfolds, the testimonies and evidence presented will play a crucial role in determining the outcome and potential consequences for all parties involved.
