As Hunter Biden’s federal gun trial enters its final stages, there is anticipation that he may decide to testify in his own defense. This comes after his daughter Naomi Biden provided an emotional account of her father’s past struggles with drug addiction. The defense has been working to undermine the prosecution’s case, which has focused on Hunter Biden’s turbulent period following his brother Beau’s death in 2015 and his use of illegal drugs at the time of his gun purchase. The trial, taking place in Wilmington, Delaware, has attracted significant attention due to the potential impact on President Joe Biden’s administration.In related news, former President Donald Trump is set to undergo a virtual probation interview on Monday from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. This interview is a routine part of the sentencing process following his conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a hush-money case. Trump’s defense lawyer, Todd Blanche, will be present, and the interview will focus on Trump’s background and reasons for seeking a lighter sentence. The sentencing hearing is scheduled for July 11, just before the Republican National Convention, and while Trump could face up to four years in prison, experts predict he is more likely to receive probation due to his lack of prior criminal record and other factors.
