What to know about Hunter Biden’s criminal trial
- Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden's only surviving son, faces three charges tied to the possession of a gun while using narcotics. He has pleaded not guilty.
- The prosecutors rested their case around 10:30 a.m. after the jury heard from the government's final two witnesses, forensic chemist Jason Brewer and Drug Enforcement Administration supervisory agent Joshua Romig.
- Hunter Biden's eldest daughter, Naomi Biden, took the stand in his defense, testifying about visiting him during his rehab stint, borrowing his truck and a late-night text he sent her around when he bought his gun. Her father wiped away tears as she testified about being "proud" of him for trying to get clean.
- The jury was unexpectedly dismissed early for the day around 1:45 p.m. and the defense said it would no longer call James Biden, the president's brother, as a witness. It's unclear if Hunter Biden will take the stand next week before closing arguments begin.
