Hunter Biden's trial details how he treated people as disposable objects during his drug-fueled stupors

It was unknown if secret service whisked Hunter Biden and wife Melissa Cohen away from the hotel on Wednesday.

Gordon T. Cleveland, the sales assistant at StarQuest Shooters in Wilmington, Del., who sold Hunter a Colt Cobra .38 Special in October 2018, was as good a prosecution witness as could be in the third day of Hunter Biden's gun trial in Wilmington federal court Wednesday.

Cleveland, a father of three with diabetes who drives a trash truck for the city, had a second job at the gun shop to make ends meet when the fresh prince of Delaware strolled in late one Friday evening.

Hunter told Cleveland to keep the $13.19 change from the $900 cash he paid for his purchases.

But the salesman was so honest that he thought it would be wrong to keep it.

The store owner told the employee the money was his, but Cleveland sets himself high ethical standards, so he put the money in an envelope and left it by the cash register.

"I don't keep tips," he told the Wilmington jury.

"It's not what you do in sales."

Hunter's attorney Abbe Lowell tried to portray Cleveland as nothing but a pushy salesman who coerced Hunter into buying the gun, the ammo, the speed loader, the BB gun and the multitool gadget.

But Cleveland points out he got the same salary whether he sold anything or not.

He was just good at his job and loves guns, which is why his colleagues called him "the whale-hunter," due to his success at always landing the sale.

It was Hunter who behaved like a Real Housewife in Louis Vuitton, grabbing accessories off the shelf to add to his haul and driving off in his father's black Cadillac CTS.

Cleveland's appearance capped off a week of testimony and jury selection that highlighted the aristocratic status of the Biden family in the small state of Delaware where Hunter's father has wielded power for 50 years.

On My Radar

The first lady wore a purple suit and appeared relaxed ahead of the start of the trial.

It's official.

Hunter Biden's "Laptop from Hell" is government exhibit 16 at the first son's gun trial in Delaware.

The silver MacBook Pro 13, covered in a clear plastic wrapper, was first publicly sighted Tuesday at 2:10 p.m. when it was carried across the court by prosecutor Derek Hines to his first witness, FBI Special Agent Erika Jensen, who confirmed it was Hunter's laptop from the serial number on the back.

Sitting at the bar table, Hunter was inscrutable behind salmon pink reading glasses as the laptop that threatens to put him in jail and politically scorch his father coasted serenely across the room.

Three years and eight months since you heard it first in the New York Post, Jensen said that the laptop was obtained by the FBI in 2019 with a subpoena from The Mac Shop in Wilmington where it had been "abandoned" by Hunter.

She said that investigators corroborated content on the laptop with Hunter's iCloud that they obtained from Apple with a subpoena.

When The Post broke the story before the 2020 election in October 2020 — publishing evidence from the laptop of Joe Biden's involvement in his family's global influence-peddling racket — we were censored by Big Tech and falsely accused by 51 former intelligence officials of peddling "Russian disinformation."

Then-presidential candidate Biden lied to the American people that the laptop was a "Russian plant."

If you were not a New York Post reader and simply believed the Biden lies, Tuesday's courtroom revelations would have come as a bolt from the blue.

One More Thing

Hunter's ex-girlfriend Zoe Kestan leaving federal court after testifying in his trial.

Hunter Biden, his wife, and his T-shirt clad lawyers Abbe Lowell and Kevin Morris were spotted being evacuated from their luxury Wilmington hotel after a fire emergency Wednesday night.

Zoe Kestan (pictured above), one of Hunter's ex-lovers and a prosecution witness in the First Son's trial Wednesday, was also among dozens of guests forced to escape down the fire stairs or out of the bar as piercing alarms blared throughout the downtown Hotel Du Pont at 9.30pm.

Hunter and wife Melissa Cohen have been discreetly staying at the Du Pont this week and were nowhere to be seen among the crowd of evacuees standing in the rain outside the hotel. But a witness spotted the Secret Service whisking them away soon after the alarm started.

The emergency was declared over within the hour after firefighters inspected a report of billowing smoke in the hotel kitchen.
