Jurors in the Hunter Biden gun trial in Delaware concluded deliberations for the day and will reconvene on Tuesday morning to continue deliberating. The panel began deliberations on Monday afternoon shortly after Biden’s defense argued to jurors that prosecutors failed to eliminate reasonable doubt about the allegations against President Biden’s son, relying instead on suspicion and conjecture.

During an 80-minute closing argument, defense attorney Abbe Lowell asserted that the prosecution attempted to “fill in the blanks” in the case. Lowell emphasized that everyone, including Hunter Biden, deserves the right to due process and protection against unfounded charges. He emphasized the lack of evidence on key issues, stating, “What [prosecutors] failed to present should be clear to you.”

The prosecution presented evidence of Biden’s crack cocaine addiction leading up to and around the time he purchased a gun in October 2018. However, Biden’s lawyers contend that prosecutors have not provided evidence demonstrating that their client was using drugs when he bought the gun and signed a federal form attesting that he was not using illegal substances, nor during the 11 days the gun was in his possession.

The court is scheduled to reconvene on Tuesday at 9 a.m. Eastern.

Hunter Biden departed the fourth floor of the federal courthouse approximately five minutes after the jury was excused. In the hallway, he embraced several supporters before boarding an elevator with his legal team to depart the building. Court officials confirmed that jurors would reconvene at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, with the judge providing them with brief instructions before they resume deliberations.
