Kathleen Buhle, Hunter Biden's ex-wife, has taken the stand as the prosecution's second witness following a brief break by the court on Wednesday.

Biden and Buhle were married from 1993 to 2017. Buhle has spoken publicly about Biden's drug addiction and many affairs, including his sister-in-law and widow of his late brother, Beau, Hallie Biden, who is also a witness for the prosecution.

Buhle detailed difficulties in her marriage to Biden in a 2022 memoir titled, "If We Break: A Memoir of Marriage, Addiction, and Healing."

Prosecutors said that throughout 2018, Buhl would search Biden's car because "she did not want their children in a vehicle with drugs." She found drugs or drug paraphernalia about a dozen times, according to court documents. A 2018 text message exchange with Biden said, "I also found a few crack pipes. I took them out because our daughter was driving the car," according to prosecutors.
