Hunter Biden’s ex-wife Kathleen Buhle takes the stand in gun case
In a brief cross-examination, Buhle detailed what life was like during her marriage with him and maintained that she did not witness him using drugs.
After saying they met at a Peace Corps trip in Chicago, where they later got married, Hunter Biden’s lawyer Abbe Lowell asked what his client was doing for work in 2015.
“He had a business. I really don’t know exactly what he was working on,” Buhle said.
Buhle said Biden moved out of their house in 2015 “after I found the crack pipe,” adding that she didn’t consider a separation until “the infidelity.”
They divorced in 2017, she said. Lowell then asked Buhle whether interactions between them became less frequent. “Yes,” she said.
Asked how often she would search his car for drugs in fall 2018, Buhle recalled it was when their daughters would use the car, and that she “can’t recall exact dates” of when she had checked.
Pressed on Biden’s rehab stints, she recalled one in 2003 at Crossroads. “He didn’t resist — it was his idea,” she said.
She couldn’t list the exact times when she saw paraphernalia or when she saw Biden using drugs.
In a brief re-direct by prosecutor Leo Wise, Buhle said Biden told her “when I found the pipe what it was,” and that she had “assumed he was continuing to use when I found the pipes in the car.”
