During the recent Hunter Biden firearm trial, jaw-dropping details about his tumultuous life came to light. From 2015 to 2019, the prosecution depicted a narrative of Hunter’s struggles with crack cocaine, chasing the drug relentlessly and even introducing others to it.
The son of President Joe Biden entered a plea of not guilty to charges of making false statements on a federal document when purchasing a firearm and possessing a weapon illegally while battling addiction to crack cocaine.
Hunter Biden is the first child of an incumbent president to face a criminal trial.
While we await the jury’s decision, let’s delve into some of the trial’s most revealing details.
Hunter Biden Sought crack cocaine from a homeless camp
In his autobiography, “Beautiful Things,” Hunter Biden candidly shared his darkest moments, recounting visiting a Los Angeles homeless camp in search of someone who could supply him with crack cocaine.
His insatiable cravings for debasement led him to seek out crack at any cost, a stark contrast to the charitable acts of President Obama’s daughters, who donated a White House swing set to a D.C. homelessness shelter.
His Brother’s Wife, Also a Crack Cocaine Addict
After the death of Beau Biden in 2015, Hunter introduced his brother’s widow, Hallie, to crack cocaine. Hallie, a school counselor and advocate for children’s safety, expressed deep regret for her actions, noting that she was ashamed of her past.
Interestingly, in August 2018, Hallie ceased using crack and supported Hunter in his recovery, according to her attorney’s testimony.
His Own Dealer Cut Him Off
Text messages revealed that Hunter Biden’s addiction was so severe that even his dealer ceased supplying him with crack. The dealer expressed a desire to prioritize his family over Hunter’s demands, ending their drug-fueled relationship on a bittersweet note.
Family Troubles and Addiction
Kathleen Buhle, Hunter’s ex-sister-in-law, testified about the breakdown of her marriage due to her ex-husband’s substance abuse issues, including finding drug paraphernalia in her home. She recounted instances where she had to search Hunter Biden’s car for drugs before allowing her daughters to drive it.
Hunter Biden himself admitted in his autobiography that he had driven while high on drugs.
