The trial, whIn a shocking revelation, Zoe Kestan, the former girlfriend of Hunter Biden, has testified about his near-constant crack cocaine use at luxury hotels during his criminal trial. The trial, which is the first of its kind involving a US president's child, aims to prove that Hunter Biden knowingly lied about his drug use on screening paperwork when he bought a revolver in October 2018.
Kestan, who took the stand on Wednesday, described meetings with a "scary" drug dealer and searching for instructions on the internet to cook powder cocaine into crack. She told jurors that Hunter Biden would prepare crack at the ritzy Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles or spend days in hotel rooms getting high in the months leading up to his 2018 gun purchase. "He would want to smoke as soon as he woke up," Kestan said, painting a grim picture of Hunter Biden's addiction.
Prosecutors also called upon Kathleen Buhle, who divorced Hunter Biden in 2017, to testify for about 20 minutes. Buhle described how she first discovered that Hunter was using drugs. Additionally, prosecutors plan to call Hallie Biden, the widow of Hunter's late brother Beau, to provide further insight into his drug use.
Hunter Biden, 54, has pleaded not guilty to three felony charges accusing him of failing to disclose his use of illegal drugs when he bought the gun and of illegally possessing the weapon for 11 days. While he has publicly acknowledged his past drug use, including in his memoir, he told the judge in the case at a 2023 hearing that he had been clean since 2019.
The defense lawyer, Abbe Lowell, has countered that Hunter Biden was not using drugs at the time of the purchase and did not intend to deceive. Lowell pressed an FBI agent to acknowledge that prosecutors had evidence of Hunter's addiction only before or after, rather than during the time he owned the gun.
The trial follows another historic first, last week's criminal conviction of Donald Trump, the first US president to be found guilty of a felony. Trump, a Republican, is challenging Joe Biden, a Democrat, in the upcoming November 5 election.
As the trial continues, the testimony of Zoe Kestan, Kathleen Buhle, and potentially Hallie Biden will shed light on the extent of Hunter Biden's drug addiction and its impact on his actions surrounding the 2018 gun purchase. The outcome of this trial could have significant implications for both Hunter Biden and the Biden family as a whole.
