Special counsel David Weiss is planning to call three former romantic partners of Hunter Biden, including his ex-wife, to testify about his drug addiction at Biden's felony gun trial next month.
According to a court brief submitted Monday night, prosecutors will call Kathleen Buhle, Biden's ex-wife; Hallie Biden, the widow of his late brother, Beau, with whom he had a relationship; and Lunden Roberts, an Arkansas woman with whom Hunter Biden has a daughter.
All three women are unnamed in the brief, but all three are obvious in their description, according to ABC News and CNN.
"Witness 1 was previously married to the defendant," prosecutors wrote in the filing, referring to Buhle, according to the reports. "They divorced in April 2017, but through 2018 she would check his vehicle from time to time because she did not want their children in a vehicle with drugs."
Witness 2, reported by CNN to be Roberts, "observed the defendant using crack cocaine frequently — every 20 minutes except when he slept."
"Witness 3 will also establish that the defendant possessed the gun and she discarded it in an outdoor trash receptacle at the Janssen's Market in Wilmington, Delaware after removing it from his vehicle," prosecutors wrote, referring to Hallie Biden, who reportedly is the one who found the Cobra 38SPL and got rid of it.
Prosecutors said they will also introduce scores of text messages they say were sent by Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden.
"The government intends to show videos and photographs of the defendant smoking crack, or crack or drug paraphernalia in videos/photographs backed up to the defendant's Apple iCloud account or laptop, or sent in the defendant's messages," prosecutors wrote.
The trial is scheduled to begin June 3 in Wilmington, Delaware. Biden has pleaded not guilty to the three felonies stemming from his alleged drug use while procuring a firearm in 2018. He was indicted by Weiss last September.
Biden's attorneys asked the full 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to reconsider their motion to dismiss the case. U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika, who will preside over the trial, rejected that claim and other defense motions earlier this month.
Biden also faces a federal tax trial in California that's set to begin June 20. He has pleaded not guilty.
