‘Good Luck With That’: Defense Attorney Suggests Hunter Biden Taking Stand Would Lead To Conviction
Defense attorney Randy Zelin suggested that Hunter Biden taking the stand in his federal gun trial starting Monday could lead to a jury convicting him.
Hunter Biden is confronting three federal gun charges brought by Special Counsel David Weiss in September, which consist of providing false statements and knowingly possessing the gun while being a drug addict. Zelin, on “CNN News Central,” said Biden’s defense strategy to deny his knowledge he was a drug addict will compel him to take the stand, and suggested doing so could go poorly for the defendant.
“Biden’s defense team has wanted to kind of lean into this argument that Hunter Biden did not think he was an addict at the time that he was buying the gun. One of the questions on the federal form, you have to fill out involves this question: ‘Are you an unlawful user of or addicted to illegal drugs?’ How much gray area do you see in that?” host Kate Bolduan asked Zelin.
