Hunter Biden attorneys rest their case without calling him to testify
10/06/2024 19:03 // The Guardian newspaper: International | guardian.co.uk
Trial, which is heading into final stretch, is first of two he is facing in midst of father’s re-election campaign
Attorneys for Joe Biden’s son rested their case on Monday in his federal criminal trial without calling him to the witness stand to testify about allegations that he lied about his drug use when he bought a gun in 2018.
US criminal court defendants are not required to testify and are often advised by lawyers not to do so because it opens them up to grilling by prosecutors on cross-examination.
Last week, Hunter Biden’s defense team called three witnesses – including his daughter Naomi – as it tried to poke holes in the case that has laid bare some of the darkest moments of Hunter’s Biden’s drug-fueled past.
Closing arguments are expected later on Monday before the case goes to the jury for verdict deliberations.
