Hallie Biden disclosed that she made the decision to dispose of a gun and initially placed it in a gift shopping bag. However, realizing that the gun was too visible, she sought out an alternative in Hunter Biden's case.
She mentioned finding a pouch in his truck and noted that Hunter Biden used such pouches for various items, including drugs. Prosecutors revealed that a white powder found in the pouch in 2023 tested positive for cocaine.
During the trial, defense attorney Abbe Lowell implied that the pouch belonged to Hallie Biden. She admitted to discarding the gun, stating, 'I took it to a grocery store up the road and I threw it away ... into a trash can.'
Surveillance footage presented in court captured Hallie Biden disposing of the gun in a supermarket parking lot. Reflecting on her actions, she expressed regret, acknowledging, 'I realize it was a stupid idea now.'
Additional footage from inside the store, identified as Jansen's, was shown to the jury. Hallie Biden mentioned returning to the grocery store in an attempt to retrieve the discarded gun.
The jury observed security footage of Hallie Biden frantically searching through trash bins outside the store, revisiting different bins multiple times. She informed store employees about the situation and later filed a police report regarding the incident.
