Breaking News: Judge Rules in Hunter Biden Gun Case, Governors Defy WHO, and Fani Willis Defends Herself

In a significant ruling, the judge presiding over the Hunter Biden federal gun case in Delaware on Friday determined that prosecutors cannot present certain controversial evidence during the trial next month.

Prosecutors with Special Counsel David Weiss' team were barred from mentioning Hunter's naval discharge after testing positive for cocaine use or the child support case involving his out-of-wedlock daughter in Arkansas. However, prosecutors were granted permission to utilize portions of Hunter's laptop and his book as evidence of drug use at the time of the gun purchase. Hunter is facing charges of lying on the firearm application about his history of narcotics use, to which he has pleaded not guilty.

Hunter's defense team was successful in preventing the prosecution from characterizing his spending as "extravagant" during his addiction years. The judge, however, will allow evidence to be presented indicating that he had significant expenditures. The defense also sought to restrict the introduction of Hunter's sexual history, arguing that it is unrelated and prejudicial to the case.

A group of governors have publicly expressed their opposition to the World Health Organization's (WHO) attempt to assume greater authority over healthcare decision-making within their states. In a joint letter to President Biden, the governors expressed concerns that the proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations would cede sovereignty over public health matters to the WHO.

The governors emphasized that the WHO's powers should be limited to coordinating global efforts and providing technical assistance. They also stressed the importance of maintaining individual state authority to address health crises and protect the rights of citizens.

Amidst allegations of an affair and misconduct, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has publicly addressed the claims against her. In an interview, she categorically denied having an affair with witness Nathan Wade and accused political opponents of attempting to discredit her.

Willis stated that her focus remains on the ongoing investigation into former President Donald Trump's alleged interference in Georgia's 2020 election. She also defended her conduct, asserting that her actions have been ethical and in accordance with the law.

The allegations against Willis stem from an investigation by Georgia's State Election Board, which alleged that she made improper inquiries to pressure election workers. Willis has maintained her innocence and has initiated her own defamation action against several individuals who made the accusations.
