While presenting their case against Hunter Biden at his gun trial, prosecutors entered the first son’s "laptop from hell" with no objections from the defense.
Biden’s lead defense attorney Abbe Lowell looked at Judge Maryellen Noreika and said he did not object to the government entering it into evidence.
Prosecutors then bolstered their case before the jury using photos and messages from the laptop.
The FBI subpoenaed the laptop from a repair shop in 2019 after receiving a tip about it.
But Democrats including the President and his son challenge the authenticity of the contents on the laptop as it may have been hacked and there is no clear chain of custody.
Hunter Biden's computer, known as "The Laptop from Hell" was discovered right before the presidential election in 2020.
On the stand, FBI agent Erika Jensen confirmed the authenticity of the laptop, along with evidence from Biden’s computer data and excerpts from a memoir he wrote about his addiction battles.
Jensen said, "Some data found directly on the laptop 'sometimes' overlapped with Biden's iCloud backup data that the government had received from Apple via subpoena."
Jensen said the laptop was Biden's because it contained a serial number that aligned with subpoenaed data and investigators found an email from the iCloud data with an invoice from the repair shop to Hunter Biden dated April 2019.
Hunter Biden pleaded not guilty to three felonies charges that he lied on a federal form about his drug use to purchase a revolver and that he possessed the gun for 11 days.
