Opening statements are set to begin in the federal firearms trial of Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden. Biden has been charged with lying on a background check form when he purchased a gun in 2018 while struggling with drug addiction.

The prosecution is expected to argue that Biden knowingly made false statements on the form, which prohibits individuals from purchasing firearms if they are addicted to illegal substances. The defense is likely to focus on Biden's mental state at the time and his belief that he could still legally buy a gun despite his addiction.

The trial is closely watched as it could impact both Hunter Biden's legal future and the upcoming presidential election, in which his father is seeking a second term.

The Hunter Biden trial is expected to be a highly scrutinized event with implications for the political landscape. Here are five key things to know about the case:

1. The charges stem from a 2018 purchase of a handgun in Delaware, where Biden is a resident.

2. Biden allegedly lied on the background check form about his history of drug abuse and domestic violence.

3. The prosecution has access to text messages and financial records that could potentially support their case.

4. The defense team is likely to argue that Biden was not fully aware of the consequences of his actions due to his addiction.

5. The trial is expected to last several weeks and the outcome could influence both Hunter Biden's future and the upcoming presidential election.

A recent poll shows that President Biden has made some progress in convincing voters to change their minds about his performance, but many of those new supporters are now backing Republican challenger Donald Trump.

The poll found that Biden's approval rating has risen from 41% in June to 43% in August. However, Trump's approval rating has also increased, from 38% to 42% over the same period.

Analysts believe that Biden's gains are primarily due to his handling of the economy, which has seen steady growth in recent months. However, Trump's gains are attributed to increased voter dissatisfaction with Biden's policies.

A man who was caught driving during a virtual suspended license hearing has had a surprising turn of events in his favor. The man, identified as Richard Benoit, was initially charged with driving after his license was suspended for DUI.

During the hearing, Benoit's video feed reportedly froze, making it impossible for the judge to determine whether he was actually driving. The judge subsequently dismissed the charges against Benoit, citing a lack of evidence.

The incident has raised questions about the reliability of virtual hearings and the potential for abuse by those attempting to avoid prosecution.

Caitlin Clark, the highly touted rookie for the New York Liberty, has faced unexpected backlash and criticism during her first year in the WNBA. Despite her impressive stats and performances, she has drawn criticism for her aggressive style of play, which has led to some negative attention.

Clark's detractors have accused her of being too physical and confrontational, and some have even gone so far as to call her a "dirty player." However, Clark's defenders argue that she is simply playing hard and that her style is necessary to succeed in the WNBA.
