During cross-examination, a significant revelation emerged as a key government witness acknowledged that Hunter Biden may not have been using drugs continuously between 2015 and 2019, a period that includes the time when he purchased a gun in 2018.
This development is particularly noteworthy because earlier in the proceedings, prosecutors had emphasized Hunter's own admission in his memoir that he was an 'active' addict throughout those five years.
The FBI agent, Erika Jensen, testified that she did not believe drug use spanned the entire 2015-2019 period, indicating that there were intervals during which Biden did not exhibit signs of crack cocaine abuse.
Furthermore, Hunter Biden's attorney, Abbe Lowell, has been working to highlight inconsistencies between his client's written account in the 2021 memoir and the actual events. For instance, there was a discrepancy regarding a missed or skipped flight that Biden had mentioned in his book.
Lowell's strategy appears to be aimed at casting doubt on the reliability of the memoir, which the prosecutors are relying on as crucial evidence to bolster their case.
