WILMINGTON, Delaware — Hunter Biden’s ex-wife and ex-girlfriend on Wednesday detailed their time with the first son as he descended into drugs and alcohol, with the mother of his children saying that his addiction is what broke their marriage of 25 years. Prosecutors also unveiled more photos from Mr. Biden’s infamous laptop, which caused at least one jury member to wince. 

After completing their questioning of an FBI special agent who was involved in analyzing Mr. Biden’s laptop and pulling excerpts from his addiction memoir, “Beautiful Things,” the prosecution called Mr. Biden’s first wife, Kathleen Buhle, to the stand. She and Mr. Biden were married from 1993 to 2017, divorcing after nearly 25 years because of Mr. Biden’s drug addiction and sexual infidelity. She published a bestselling memoir about her marriage, “If We Break,’ in 2023.
