Hunter Biden was withdrawing large volumes of money while using crack cocaine in late 2017 and early 2018, his ex-girlfriend, Zoe Kestan, testified on Wednesday.
Kestan revealed intimate details of Biden’s drug usage in the months leading up to when he bought a gun, saying she witnessed Biden use crack cocaine “every 20 minutes or so.”
Her detailed testimony was in stark contrast to Biden’s ex-wife, Kathleen Buhle who spent less than 30 minutes on the stand, giving hesitant and short answers. Buhle said she knew Biden was using drugs in 2018 because she found drugs or drug paraphernalia in his car.
Prosecutors allege Biden lied on a federal gun form while purchasing a firearm in October 2018 when he indicated he was not addicted to drugs. The salesman who sold him the gun testified he watched Biden fill out the form without hesitation.
Biden is charged with three gun-related counts. He has pleaded not guilty.
In addition to six other witnesses, Biden’s onetime girlfriend and sister-in-law, Hallie Biden, is expected to testify.
