Hunter Biden arrives at court for fifth day of criminal gun trial
Hunter Biden and his wife, Melissa Cohen Biden, arrived at the courthouse in Wilmington, Delaware at 8:40 a.m.
Biden has been attentive throughout court proceedings this week, taking notes, chatting with his defense team and making a beeline to his wife when the court breaks. He was seen planting a kiss on the top of his wife’s head ahead of court kicking off on Thursday.
The trial kicked off Monday, with Biden facing three felony firearm offenses regarding the 2018 purchase of a .38 revolver from a gun shop in Delaware. Biden has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The charges include: false statement in purchase of a firearm; false statement related to information required to be kept by federal firearms licensed dealer; possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance.
The total maximum prison time for the charges could be up to 25 years. Each count carries a maximum fine of $250,000, and three years of supervised release.
