Hunter Biden's ex-girlfriend details his drug use at gun trial

In the criminal trial involving Hunter Biden, prosecutors aim to prove that he falsified information about his drug addiction to unlawfully purchase a firearm. A significant testimony came from Hunter Biden's former girlfriend, who recounted his frequent use of crack cocaine. She described their lavish lifestyle, highlighting their stays at opulent hotels where his drug use was almost a daily occurrence. This testimony is crucial for the prosecution, as it seeks to establish a pattern of behavior that contradicts the statements made by Hunter Biden during the firearm purchase process.

The case hinges on the 2018 incident when Hunter Biden purchased a gun, reportedly filling out a federal form that asked if he was an unlawful user of or addicted to any narcotic. The prosecution argues that Biden's consistent drug use, as testified by his former girlfriend, directly contradicts his claims on the form, thereby violating federal law.

This trial not only scrutinizes Hunter Biden's actions but also places a spotlight on the broader issues of gun control laws and the legal obligations regarding truthfulness on federal forms. The defense may argue about the specifics of addiction and the context in which the form was completed, potentially highlighting the complexities of addiction and its impact on one's ability to make legal declarations.

The outcome of this trial could have significant ramifications, not only for Hunter Biden personally but also for the ongoing political discourse surrounding the Biden family. As the trial progresses, more testimonies and evidence will likely further illuminate the details of Hunter Biden's actions and their legal implications.

US lawmaker report finds Wall Street 'colluded' to curb emissions

The US Congressional committee has alleged that some of the biggest Wall Street firms have colluded with advocacy groups in an effort to force companies to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. This accusation suggests a concerted effort by financial giants, in partnership with environmental advocacy organizations, to exert pressure on corporations to adopt more sustainable practices. According to the committee, this collaboration may have involved various strategies, including the use of shareholder proposals, public campaigns, and direct negotiations with corporate boards to push for stricter environmental policies. The allegations suggest that these Wall Street firms may have leveraged their significant influence and investment power to promote environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards, specifically targeting reductions in carbon footprints and other greenhouse gas emissions. The committee's findings have sparked a debate over the role of financial institutions in advoc...

Ukraine's Euro 2024 squad arrive in Frankfurt

The delegation of the national team arrived in Przemyśl, Poland, at 7 am. There they went through passport control and then went by bus to the airport in Rzeszw.
