Hunter Biden introduced brother’s widow to crack cocaine, gun trial told

The Telegraph  

Ms Biden is the first witness in the case to testify that she believed he was abusing drugs in the month he purchased the Colt Cobra.38 revolver. Ms Biden described discovering drug paraphernalia and the Colt revolver in Hunter’s car on Oct 23, and disposing of it in a bin outside a supermarket near her home in Wilmington. In one text, days before the gun purchase, she told him: “I’m afraid you are going to die.” Hunter, the first child of a sitting US president to be prosecuted, faces three federal charges of lying to a gun dealer, making a false claim on a gun background check and illegally possessing a gun. Earlier in the trial, which began on Tuesday, prosecutors elicited lurid testimony from two of Hunter’s other former romantic partners which is likely to feature in the 2024 presidential campaign. Kathleen Buhle, Hunter’s ex-wife, told the court she discovered his drug use when she found a crack cocaine pipe in an ashtray on a porch at their home in Washington in 2015.
