In opening arguments Tuesday, Hunter Biden’s legal team made it clear that they would be trying to pin the blame for their client’s bad behavior on Biden — Hallie Biden, that is.
Axios reported early Wednesday that “Hunter’s lead defense attorney Abbe Lowell repeatedly deflected blame toward Hallie.”
Hallie Biden, who is the widow of Hunter’s brother, Beau, was engaged in a romantic relationship with Hunter in October of 2018, which is when Hunter purchased a firearm, for which transaction he is now on trial.
According to the Justice Department, Hunter signed a federal form that claimed he was not using drugs, though he was addicted to both alcohol and crack cocaine at the time.
Hallie also struggled with addiction during her relationship with Hunter, the prosecution said.
