Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, is facing scrutiny once again, this time over his purchase of a gun. During a trial on Tuesday, it was revealed that Hunter Biden had purchased a gun in 2018, leading to accusations that he had “crossed a line” by doing so.
The trial, which is related to a lawsuit filed by Hunter Biden’s former business partner, Tony Bobulinski, has raised questions about the legality of Hunter Biden’s gun purchase. According to court documents, Hunter Biden bought the gun in October 2018 from a Delaware gun store, but later lied on a background check form by falsely claiming that he was not an illegal drug user.
During the trial, Bobulinski’s attorney argued that Hunter Biden’s purchase of the gun was evidence of his “reckless behavior” and showed that he was not fit to serve on the board of a Chinese-backed investment firm. The attorney also suggested that Hunter Biden’s actions could have put others at risk, given his history of drug abuse.
In response, Hunter Biden’s attorney argued that his client’s gun purchase was legal and that he had not broken any laws. The attorney also pointed out that Hunter Biden had passed a background check and had not been charged with any crimes related to the gun purchase.
Despite the legal arguments, the trial has once again put Hunter Biden in the spotlight and raised questions about his judgment and behavior. Critics have accused him of hypocrisy, given his father’s support for gun control measures, and have called for further investigation into his actions.
In a statement, Hunter Biden defended his gun purchase, saying that he had bought the gun for protection and had never used it in a crime. He also apologized for the “oversight” on the background check form and said that he would take steps to correct the mistake.
As the trial continues, it remains to be seen what impact, if any, Hunter Biden’s gun purchase will have on his reputation and his father’s presidency. But one thing is clear: the scrutiny on Hunter Biden shows no signs of letting up anytime soon.
