Hunter Biden shamed 'coward' as he declines to testify in his ongoing gun crime trial

WILMINGTON, DELAWARE: Hunter Biden will not take the stand in his own defense in his ongoing federal gun crime trial, despite earlier suggestions from his defense lawyer Abbe Lowell that he might. "Mr. Biden rests his case," Lowell informed the jury and judge on Monday morning, June 10. 

The prosecution, after that, called FBI Special Agent Erika Jensen back to the stand. Jensen is an FBI agent who was assigned to Hunter's case in the fall of 2023.

When Jensen first testified, she discussed the investigation and the examination of bank records and purported texts from the first son in 2018.

Several Biden family members are present in Hunter Biden's gun trial courtroom

Hunter Biden reportedly lied on a federal firearm form

In October 2018, Hunter checked the "No" box when asked if he was an illegal gun owner or drug addict on a federal firearm form, or ATF Form 4473.

Prosecutors are trying to show that he lied on the form. The first son bought a Cobra Colt .38 from StarQuest Shooters & Survival Supply in Wilmington.

Fox editor Ben Domenech says Hunter Biden's alleged gun crime is 'far more clear cut' than Donald Trump's trial

Fox contributor and editor at large of The Spectator, Ben Domenech, said Sunday on Media Buzz that Hunter's alleged gun crime is "far more clear cut" compared to former President Donald Trump's trial.

"It's a document that you have to sign under under penalty of perjury," Domenech said, according to Fox News. "Everybody has to do this when they're buying a firearm, and in his case, Hunter obviously lied on that forum when he said that he was not addicted to any drugs when he said that he was able to purchase this weapon."

"The irony of this is actually the Joe Biden himself signed a law into effect that made the penalty for this type of crime higher than it was in the past historically," he added.

While Trump's private business records were under investigation, Domenech suggested that Hunter's recent media attention had shown "the degree to which this had gone off the rails as much as it had. "I think there were a lot of people who were learning these things about Hunter Biden for the first time," he said. Nonetheless, Trump's charges "was a completely different standard."

Evidence against Hunter Biden is 'overwhelming', says legal analyst Gregg Jarrett

Gregg Jarrett, legal analyst for Fox News, spoke about the potential effects of Hunter's testimony should he be called to testify in his federal gun trial.

"His problem is there is no defending the indefensible. The evidence overwhelming. He lied, he incriminated himself on the laptop, in his own book, witnesses confirmed the lie," Jarrett said, per the outlet. 

Jarrett also talked about Hunter's defense, claiming it was weak and might hinge on a sympathetic Delaware jury.

"It's Delaware, it's the Biden's personal theifdom, and it's a friendly jury," Jarrett said. "His main defense is really quite desperate. That he was so addicted that he was in denial about his addiction therefor didn't knowingly lie. But under the law being addled by drugs is not a defense, which means... his real defense is a combination of sympathy for a recovering addict and jury nullification, ignore the facts, disregard the law."

Hunter’s resilience in the face of adversity and the strength he has brought to his recovery are inspiring to us."

"A lot of families have loved ones who have overcome addiction and know what we mean. As the President, I don’t and won’t comment on pending federal cases, but as a Dad, I have boundless love for my son, confidence in him, and respect for his strength. Our family has been through a lot together, and Jill and I are going to continue to be there for Hunter and our family with our love and support," the statement said.
