Hunter Biden's legal team filed and quickly withdrew a motion for a new trial on Monday, nearly a week after the first son was found guilty on all charges related to his purchase of a firearm in 2018. Biden's legal team, led by attorney Abbe Lowell, filed a motion in Delaware federal court on Monday morning requesting a new trial, arguing the court lacked jurisdiction as two appeals in the case are still pending.
Prosecutors worked to prove that Biden lied on a federal firearm form, known as ATF Form 4473, in October 2018, when he ticked a box labeled 'No' when asked if he is an unlawful user of substances or addicted to controlled substances. Biden purchased the gun from a store in Wilmington. Biden pleaded not guilty in the case.
Biden has a well-documented history of drug abuse, which was most notably documented in his 2021 memoir, 'Beautiful Things,' which walks readers through his previous need to smoke crack cocaine every 20 minutes, how his addiction was so prolific that he referred to himself as a 'crack daddy' to drug dealers, and anecdotes revolving around drug deals, such as a Washington, D.C., crack dealer Biden nicknamed 'Bicycles.
