<p>A CNN legal analyst took the firing pin out of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hunter-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunter Biden&#8217;s</a> latest defense in his trial on several gun-related charges, saying that it did not matter whether or not the president&#8217;s embattled son had thought of himself as &#8220;an addict&#8221; at the time.</p>
<p>Biden is charged in part with lying on a federal form about whether or not he was addicted to an illicit substance when he purchased a firearm. As <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/tv/cnn-legal-analyst-rejects-hunter-biden-defense-that-he-wasnt-using-drugs-on-the-same-day-he-filled-out-gun-form/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mediaite reported</a>, defense attorney Joey Jackson told anchors Evan Perez and Alisyn Camerota that the defense&#8217;s argument &#8212; that because Biden was not high the day that he bought his firearm, he did not consider himself to be an &#8220;addict&#8221; — was not likely to hold up in court.</p>
<p>&#8220;The prosecution doesn’t have any evidence that on the day he bought that firearm, that he was using drugs that day,&#8221; Perez said, noting that the defense had been working hard to make sure the jury understood that. &#8220;As a matter of fact, all these text messages, all of the, a lot of the evidence that they have is from weeks and months before and after the purchase of the gun.&#8221;</p>
<p>Cameron turned to Jackson then, asking whether the prosecution was under any obligation to &#8220;prove that Hunter was using drugs on the day that he filled out that federal gun form?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Simple answer — Good morning, Alisyn — is no, right? It’s about addiction. And we’ve just seen the form and what the form represents,&#8221; Jackson replied.</p>

<p>&#8220;Big picture before the small picture. You know, as a practitioner in federal and state court on the defense side, and we look there:  &#8216;Are you an unlawful user of or addicted to marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug or any other controlled substance?&#8217; It does not reference, Alisyn, the specific day at issue. And I think that’s what prosecutors will do. They’ll take the — the broader view with respect to his addiction, which is what they’re laying out. And of course, his attorneys are rightfully, Mr. [Abbe] Lowell, is pointing to the notion of the time itself.&#8221;</p>
