Prosecutors have rested their case against President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden.

The defense is scheduled to present its case next.

Defense attorneys have said they could possibly wrap up their case by Monday, in which case jurors could begin deliberations as soon as Tuesday or Wednesday.

DEA special agent Joshua Romig took the stand to testify as an expert in the "coded language" used in drug trafficking.

He analyzed the language used in some of Hunter Biden's text messages, some of which appeared to be drug transactions.

First lady Jill Biden, back in the courtroom this morning, looked on as Romig testified.

Special counsel David Weiss, who brought the case against Hunter Biden, is also in court today.

Chemist Jason Brewer, testifying as an expert witness for the prosecution, told the jury that a brown leather pouch that contained Hunter Biden's gun at the time the weapon was retrieved by authorities tested positive for cocaine.

Brewer said there were "minimal amounts of white powder" on two locations on the pouch, which he combined and tested.

On cross-examination, Hunter Biden's attorney sought to raise doubts about how that white powder got there and who put it there -- emphasizing it could have been old, dating back to before Hunter Biden purchased the gun.

"You can't date when it got there?" defense attorney David Kolansky asked.

"I cannot," Brewer said.

Kolansky also emphasized that five years went by from the time the pouch was collected in October 2018 to when it was tested in October 2023 -- after the indictment in this case was already filed.

He emphasized the importance of the "chain of command," which Brewer conceded was "very important."

Earlier, Hunter Biden's former girlfriend Hallie Biden testified that she put the gun in the pouch, which she found in Hunter Biden's vehicle, after she discovered the weapon in the vehicle and before she disposed of it in a trash container.

Proceedings resumed this morning with the government calling FBI chemist Dr. Jason Brewer to the stand.

Brewer is testifying as an expert witness.

Prosecutors said they would then call a DEA officer as their final witness.

Prosecutor Leo Wise read through text messages Hunter Biden's then-girlfriend Hallie Biden exchanged with him in the days following his gun purchase and on the day that she discovered and discarded it, asking her on the stand to provide context for their communications.

Within days of buying the gun, Hunter Biden texted her that he was about to meet a drug dealer named "Mookie." Hallie Biden testified that she thought that to mean "that he was buying crack cocaine."

In another message, Hunter Biden wrote that he was "buy" and then seconds later added "ing." Asked how she interpreted that message, Hallie Biden said, "I mean, I would guess but I didn't know for sure."

In the messages, Hallie Biden repeatedly expressed concern for him, at one point saying explicitly that she didn't want him to die. Wise asked her if she was worried that he would overdose on drugs.

She said "Yes," but added that she was also worried he might die by "suicide, I didn't know."

Wise then asked her to describe the messages the two exchanged on the morning she threw the gun away.

"It's hard to believe anyone is that stupid," Hunter Biden wrote to her.

"He was angry with me" for discarding his gun and putting him in legal jeopardy, Hallie Biden told jurors.

"I'm a liar and a thief and a blamer and a user and I'm delusional and an addict," Hunter Biden texted her.

She texted back, "Let's do this right," and suggested "working on sobriety" together.

Asked what she meant by "sobriety" -- alcohol or drugs or both -- Hallie Biden replied, "Well, if you're sober, it's all of the above."
