Hunter Biden's federal gun trial opens, while Biden convinces voters to support him and then they back Trump. Trump and Biden face off in the final 2024 presidential primaries.
Opening statements are set to begin today in the federal gun trial of Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden. The trial stems from a 2018 incident in which Hunter Biden allegedly lied on a gun purchase form by stating that he was not under indictment for a crime. He was indicted for a misdemeanor gun charge in 2018, which was later resolved with a plea agreement.
The prosecution is expected to argue that Hunter Biden knowingly and willfully lied on the form, while the defense is expected to argue that he made a mistake and did not intentionally mislead the gun store. The trial is expected to last several days.
The Hunter Biden trial has captured national attention due to its potential implications for the Biden family and the upcoming presidential election. Here are five things to know about the trial:
1. The trial is being held in Wilmington, Delaware, where Hunter Biden resides.
2. The jury consists of eight men and four women.
3. The prosecution is led by U.S. Attorney David Weiss, a Trump appointee.
4. The defense is led by Chris Clark, a prominent defense attorney who has represented high-profile clients such as Michael Flynn and Martha Stewart.
5. The trial is expected to focus on whether Hunter Biden lied on a gun purchase form, whether he was under indictment at the time, and whether he intended to deceive the gun store.
A recent poll shows that Biden's approval ratings have improved in recent months. However, the same poll shows that more voters now prefer Trump over Biden in a head-to-head matchup. This suggests that Biden's momentum may be short-lived.
There are several possible explanations for this swing in voter sentiment. One possibility is that Biden's recent policy successes, such as the passage of the infrastructure bill, have boosted his approval ratings. Another possibility is that voters are simply more concerned about the economy and other issues than they are about Biden's personal behavior.
A man who was seen driving during a virtual suspended license hearing has received a surprising break from the court. The man, whose name has not been released, was attending a Zoom hearing from his car in April when he was stopped by a police officer who noticed that his license was suspended.
The man was initially arrested and charged with driving with a suspended license. However, the charges were later dropped after the judge reviewed the video of the hearing and determined that the man was not actually driving.
The judge's decision has sparked outrage among some, who argue that the man should have been punished for breaking the law. However, others have defended the decision, saying that the man was not actually driving and that the police officer should not have stopped him.
Caitlin Clark, the former Iowa star and No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 WNBA draft, has been a popular target of criticism during her rookie season. Critics have accused her of being selfish, ball-hogging, and not playing well within the team concept.
There are several possible explanations for the criticism that Clark has faced. One possibility is that she is simply not as good as she was hyped to be. Another possibility is that she is still adjusting to the WNBA game and is not yet playing at her full potential. It is also possible that she is being unfairly targeted because she is a woman.
Whatever the reason, Clark has not let the criticism get to her. She has continued to play hard and has shown signs of improvement in recent games. It remains to be seen whether she will be able to overcome the criticism and become a successful WNBA player.
