Hallie Biden hasn’t been involved with a member of the Biden family in several years. However, she can’t seem to escape the shadow and public scrutiny of the first family.
Hallie was recently thrust back into the spotlight after testifying during Hunter Biden’s felony gun trial. Hunter is facing three felony charges related to a 2018 gun purchase, which hinge on, among other things, whether he willingly obtained the firearm while actively addicted to substances. During her time on the witness stand, Hallie admitted to finding and disposing of the gun at the center of the case, a Colt Cobra .38 handgun. “I panicked,” Hallie explained, according to AP. “I realize it was a stupid idea now. But I was panicking,” added Hallie, who claimed she was concerned about not only Hunter’s safety but also that of her kids’.
Hallie also opened up about Hunter’s documented history of substance use, revealing that she’d broached the topic of drug use after finding crack cocaine in her home. Unfortunately, she also revealed that Hunter’s substance use eventually inspired her own. “It was a terrible experience that I went through and I’m embarrassed and ashamed, and I regret that period of my life,” said Hallie, who also admitted to using the drug.
