Wilmington, Del. – The jury in Hunter Biden’s felony gun trial began deliberating Monday afternoon after the prosecution and defense delivered closing arguments in a case that has put the first son’s destructive, chaotic past under a microscope.

Federal prosecutors Leo Wise and Derek Hines urged the jurors to use common sense and convict Hunter Biden based on the “overwhelming evidence” that he was actively addicted to crack cocaine when he claimed otherwise on a federal gun-purchase background-check form in October 2018.
