Hunter Biden, son of the President of the United States Joe Biden, is facing compounded challenges as both his ex-wife, Kathleen Buhle, and ex-girlfriend, Zoe Kestan, have provided testimony against him, regarding the ongoing gun trial.

Biden is currently facing trial on a three-count charge of lying on a federal form about his drug use to procure the firearm in October of 2018.

He was accused of illegally buying and owning a weapon while abusing drugs. However, the President’s son has denied all the allegations.

Appearing before the court on Wednesday, June 5, Biden’s ex-girlfriend, Zoe Kesta, said she observed him smoking crack cocaine in September 2018.

According to Kestan’s testimony, this comes just weeks before he walked into a Delaware gun shop and purchased a Colt Cobra in October 2018.

Kestan, who met Hunter Biden as a private dancer at a New York gentlemen’s club, told the court that she saw Biden smoke crack the night they met in December 2017 and consistently throughout their yearlong romantic relationship.

She said: “I remember thinking to myself that I didn’t notice a change in his behaviour,” Kestan said.

“The first ten minutes he was incredibly charming and charismatic and friendly,” she said. “After he had smoked, he was the same charming person.”

Also, Biden’s ex-wife Kathleen Buhle, who testified, said the president’s son abused alcohol and drug during their 25-year marriage.

When Hunter Biden was on crack, Buhle testified, “He was not himself. He was angry, short-tempered, acting in ways he wouldn’t when he was sober.”

Buhle said she would find drug “remnants in little bags” and drug paraphernalia like “a broken crack pipe” — often enough that she would search his car before allowing her daughters to use it.

The New Diplomat reports that Biden could face up to 25 years in prison if found guilty of all three federal counts in the case.
