On October 23, 2018, Hallie Biden discovered drugs and a gun in Hunter Biden's truck while he was asleep. She found remnants of crack cocaine and drug paraphernalia, along with the gun. This was the first time she had ever seen a gun up close. When presented with the gun by prosecutors, she indicated that it looked like the one she had found.
Upon finding the gun and bullets, Hallie Biden's initial reaction was panic. She expressed a desire to get rid of them out of fear for Hunter Biden potentially harming himself or her children accidentally coming into contact with the weapon. She admitted to being hesitant to touch the gun initially, unsure if it was loaded.
During her testimony, Hallie Biden shared her concerns about the safety implications of the gun's presence. She stated that she was afraid and did not want any harm to come to her family due to the firearm. The defense has argued that the gun was never loaded at any point in time.
