Hines told jurors about how Hallie Biden — the widow of the president's late son, Beau Biden, who began a relationship with Hunter Biden after Beau's death — found and disposed of Hunter’s gun. She is expected to testify later in the trial. Hunter got Hallie Biden to use drugs as well, Hines said, but she was clean by the time Hunter purchased the gun. Hines also presented some evidence that Hunter was still using drugs around the time of the gun purchase and knew that he was an addict. Hines displayed a text from Hunter to Hallie Biden the day after the gun purchase, saying he was behind Blue Rocks Stadium (a minor league baseball team in Wilmington, Delaware) waiting for a dealer. Derek Hines for the prosecution says they will lay out that Hunter Biden flew back from California on October 5 with the hopes of “getting clean, not staying clean.” They will show his continued addiction through messages and testimony, including from Hallie Biden. “Hallie will testify about her own crack use,” with Hunter, said Hines, acknowledging that the testimony will be “embarrassing.” Hines revealed that both Hallie Biden and Zoe Kestan will be testifying under immunity agreements. They will also call Kathleen Buhle, who did not use drugs herself. Kathleen will not be testifying under any immunity agreement. Laying out the three charges against Hunter, Hines emphasized that on the third count, concerning his possession of the gun for 11 days, Hunter did not get rid of the gun by choice. “The only reason he had the gun for 11 days is because Hallie took it from him,” he said.
