WILMINGTON, Del. — A prosecutor told jurors Monday that “no one is above the law” as he urged them to convict President Joe Biden's son Hunter on charges that he lied about his drug use when he bought a gun in 2018.
“The evidence was personal. It was ugly, and it was overwhelming,” Wise said. “It was also absolutely necessary.” Hunter Biden has pleaded not guilty to three felony charges stemming from the October 2018 purchase of a gun he had for about 11 days. He has accused the Justice Department of bending to political pressure from former President Donald Trump and other Republicans to bring the gun case and separate tax charges after a deal with prosecutors fell apart last year.
Jurors have heard emotional testimony from Hunter Biden's former romantic partners and read personal text messages. They've seen photos of him holding a crack pipe and partly clothed, and video from his phone of crack cocaine weighed on a scale.
