The third day of the Hunter Biden trial saw his ex-wife and an ex-girlfriend testify as prosecutors continue to demonstrate his drug addiction to the jury. More embarrassing pictures were introduced as evidence, along with lurid details of Biden’s activities in 2018 in New York City hotel rooms. Also introduced was the gun Biden bought in October 2018 that’s at the center of the charges against him. The salesman testified that he saw Biden fill out the federal form on which the president’s son is accused of lying. Here’s what to know from Day 3: When Biden’s ex-wife, Kathleen Buhle, who prosecutors subpoenaed to testify, took the witness stand, members of the jury sat up straight in their seats, leaned in and started tuning in. But Buhle’s brief, staccato answers and subdued tone didn’t seem to pull in the jurors. Buhle told the jury that in 2018, she found drug paraphernalia in Hunter’s car, which she checked occasionally because she wanted to make sure there wasn’t anything illegal in the vehicle “when my daughters would use his car.” However, Buhle couldn’t pinpoint exactly when in 2018 she found paraphernalia in Hunter’s car.
