Hunter Biden’s federal firearms trial is set to begin June 3 and could last up to two weeks amid sharp disagreements over evidence.
The judge overseeing Hunter Biden’s federal firearms charges trial agreed Friday to block prosecutors from telling jurors about some other unflattering episodes from his personal life, but left the door open to allowing them in if he testifies. It's unclear whether President Biden's son would take the stand during the trial, which could last up to two weeks during the presidential campaign and is likely to include sharp disagreements over evidence.
Prosecutors also plan to show jurors portions of his 2021 memoir, “Beautiful Things,” in which he detailed his struggle with alcoholism and drug abuse after the 2015 death of his older brother, Beau, of brain cancer at age 46. Defense attorneys argued prosecutors were cherry-picking evidence, and the judge agreed to allow Biden’s attorneys to introduce wider selections. His attorney Abbe Lowell also says there are indications that the gun-purchase form was changed by employees after the sale.
