Hunter Biden Case Breaking News

The 54-year-old son of the incumbent president has pleaded not guilty to felony charges, including lying about his addiction when he filled out a government screening document for a Colt Cobra revolver and illegally possessing the weapon for 11 days.

Defence attorney Abbe Lowell argued that the government’s case was like a magician’s trick, focusing on drug use from months or years before the gun purchase. “They blurred all those years before he walked into StarQuest Shooters and all those years after,” Lowell told jurors.

US District Judge Maryellen Noreika instructed jurors to be impartial. “You have to decide the case based on the evidence,” she told them.
