Day three of Hunter Biden's federal gun trial in Delaware saw intense courtroom proceedings. The central issue revolves around whether Biden lied about being an addict when purchasing a gun in 2018. Prosecutors argue that Biden's choice to buy a gun and lie during a federal background check was a conscious decision, separate from his addiction. Biden's defense maintains that he did not consider himself an addict at the time of purchase.
During witness testimony, prosecutors used excerpts from Biden's 2021 memoir to establish a timeline of his addiction, suggesting that he was addicted to drugs when he bought the gun in 2018. The defense disputes this claim, emphasizing the need for prosecutors to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Biden knowingly violated the law.
