The jury in Hunter Biden’s federal gun trial began deliberations on Monday after the defendant declined to testify in his own defense and both sides presented closing arguments in the historic case against the president’s son. Special counsel David Weiss’ prosecutors urged the jury to bring back three guilty verdicts because, even though the evidence was “personal” and “ugly,” it was also “overwhelming” that Biden bought and possessed a firearm while abusing drugs. Later, Biden’s defense attorney argued that the prosecutors’ case was similar to a “magician’s trick,” and accused Weiss’ team of trying to inflate the evidence and win convictions based on “suspicion and conjecture” alone. If convicted, Biden could face up to 25 years in prison and a fine of up to $750,000, though first-time offenders like him rarely receive the maximum penalty. He pleaded not guilty to all three charges. Here are takeaways from Day 6 of the historic trial.
