The federal judge overseeing Hunter Biden’s gun trial made significant decisions on the eve of jury selection that could impact the case's outcome. Judge Maryellen Noreika handed two setbacks to Hunter Biden's defense, blocking an expert witness and excluding a crucial piece of evidence.
One ruling involved blocking Hunter Biden's expert witness, a psychiatrist from Columbia University, who aimed to challenge the prosecution's claim that Biden was aware of his addiction when he purchased the gun in 2018. Judge Noreika sided with special counsel David Weiss, citing inadequate disclosure of the witness's opinions.
