The defense had intended to introduce evidence of his efforts at rehabilitation and to call a prominent expert witness to testify on the effects of addiction on judgment. However, the judge ruled that such evidence and testimony would be irrelevant to the core issue of whether Biden knowingly provided false information on the gun application.

     As a faculty member at Bethune-Cookman University, I saw that shift in real time. Around the same time students started coming back to campus in November 2021, there was a clear uptick in mental health crisis events. Some were struggling with financial instability or anxiety about school or athletics, others were coping with loneliness and uncertainty – but they all needed, and deserved, our support.
