Before a jury of six men and six women were selected for Hunter Biden’s gun trial, the defense already lost out in a key way when imploring the federal judge in the case not to keep a “doctored form” out of evidence.

Attorneys for President Joe Biden’s son said in a supplemental filing made public Monday that “it would be wrong to exclude this evidence,” arguing that it was “relevant to all counts because it goes to the credibility of the gun shop employees who sold the gun to Biden, as to what occurred when that purchase was made” at StarQuest Shooters & Survival Supply in 2018.

Hunter Biden faces a federal criminal trial on charges that he “knowingly made a false and fictitious written statement, intended and likely to deceive” StarQuest to obtain a Colt Cobra 38SPL revolver, namely that he “was not an unlawful user of, and addicted to, any stimulant, narcotic drug, and any other controlled substance[.]”
