Hunter Biden shouldn’t be allowed to call two expert witnesses at his fast-approaching federal gun trial in Delaware, the special counsel argued Thursday in a court filing calling the defense bid belated and the testimony “otherwise inadmissible.”

The proposed expert witnesses, Dr. Elie Aoun, a drug addiction expert and clinical psychiatry professor at Columbia University, and Dr. Michael Coyer, a chemist with a wealth of knowledge over decades of experience in forensic toxicology, would testify in a way that would help the jury better understand Biden’s drug addiction and to poke holes in an Flab testing that found “cocaine […] on the brown leather pouch that had [Biden’s]” allegedly illegally purchased and possessed gun inside, the defense has argued.
