BREAKING HOT NEWS: BIDEN WORLD subvertical orientation badge Hunter Biden’s Exes Take the Stand in Federal Gun Trial

Published

Two of Hunter Biden’s former romantic partners took the stand in his federal gun trial on Wednesday, detailing to jurors his years-long drug use and attempts to get sober.

Kathleen Buhle, who was married to Biden for nearly two decades, testified about finding a crack pipe in an ashtray on the porch of their D.C. home in July 2015, leading her to confront her husband.

“He acknowledged smoking crack,” she said.

Buhle said that while she moved out of the house shortly after finding the drug paraphernalia, she did not ultimately divorce Biden, with whom she shares three children, until February 2017—after “the infidelity,” NBC reported.

A year after their split, prosecutors allege, Biden lied on a federal form to buy a $5,000 gun when he was asked whether he suffered from drug addiction. He has pleaded not guilty to three counts of owning a firearm while using narcotics, and his defense attorneys have argued he may not have knowingly broken the law and was in a “deep state of denial” about his drug use at the time.

Buhle is one of three women expected to testify about their relationships with Biden, 54, and his struggles with addiction. Zoe Kestan, who dated Biden in December 2017 for 10 months also testified about watching him smoke crack “every 20 minutes or so” at one point and buy drugs throughout their relationship.

“He used cash for a lot of things,” Kestan told jurors. “I knew a good amount of it was for buying drugs.”

She added that Biden once gave her $800 to “buy clothes for his kids” from luxury stores.

As Buhle was sworn in Wednesday as the prosecution’s second witness, at least 10 of Biden’s friends and family members were in the packed Delaware courtroom—among them his current wife, Melissa Cohen-Biden, and first lady Jill Biden.

About 10 minutes into their first conversation, Biden went to the room’s balcony to smoke out of a pipe, Kestan said. “I remember thinking to myself [that] I didn’t notice a change in his behavior,” she said. “Nothing had changed, he was the same charming person.”

About a week later, she said she met up with Biden at the Soho Grand Hotel, where Biden smoked crack and offered her some. Kestan said that while she declined, the hotel room hangout led to a whirlwind romance. Kestan said that Biden often called her his “distraction” to crack, which he smoked frequently throughout the day.

She also discussed Biden’s attempts to get sober, including looking into one treatment that involved applying frog venom. “He was very stressed out, and he was talking about attempting and trying to get sober,” Kestan said.

Prosecutors showed jurors several photos Kestan took of Biden during their relationship, including one of him wearing a parody T-shirt with the word “addicted” adorned with a marijuana leaf logo. The shirt was funny, she said, because Biden “didn’t smoke weed.”

Under cross-examination, Buhle also mentioned that her ex-husband made three trips to rehab for alcoholism and that, between 2015 and 2019, she did not directly see Biden take drugs.

“They have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Hunter knowingly violated the law,” defense attorney Abbe Lowell told jurors on Tuesday.
