Jurors in Hunter Biden's criminal trial were presented with significant evidence, including the .38 caliber Colt revolver he purchased in October 2018 and the firearms transaction record, Form 4473. The trial centers on allegations that Biden lied on the form by denying drug use while in the midst of a crack addiction. He faces three felonies related to the gun purchase.

The former store clerk at StarQuest Shooters & Survival Supply testified that Biden ultimately chose the gun and signed the form, despite warnings about providing false information. Prosecutors have emphasized Biden's crack addiction and personal behavior to demonstrate his state of mind during the gun purchase.
