User or addict? hunter says when he said no, that was not a false statement, because thats not how he thought of himself at that time. >> paul butler, they are racing through this case. if the prosecution may well be resting -- thank you so much. thank you, sarah fitzpatrick. we just learned steve bannon has been ordered to report to prison on july 1st. ryan reilly joins us now. bring us up to date. >> reporter: yeah. moments ago, the judge ordered that steve bannon report to prison by july 1s...

Even went with him to buy drugs from dealers in washington dc. and how she had conversations with him between 2017 and 2018 about his drug use, telling him this cant go on. we cant do this. his responses would vary, sometimes saying, leave me alone, im fine or at other times, im an addict and ill figure it out my way. she also testified how hunter introduced her to crack in 2018. it was a terrible experience that i went through. im embarrassed and im ashamed and i regret that period of my life. ...

Called -- >> brian: and mike morell. >> judge jeanine: and the whole lot of them to say this has all of the russian disinformation. all they had to do was get that laptop and say john jones, you had an email from hunter biden, do you have an email from hunter biden? yes or no? and that is why "the new york post" went with it and did publish it because they knew they were clear of any defamation claim. so this is karma coming back at the bidens. >> brian: how about leon panetta going, hey, joe, b...

Between an ex-girlfriend and hunter biden. >> if i represent him i go oh my goodness, not good for the defense. they have overwhelming evidence he was using drugs around the time. he had been to rebob for years in advance to make the argument he is no longer an addict. by definition he clearly was. does it make it a slam dunk? not necessarily. first you have a very pro-home court advantage in delaware for the bidens, number one. secondly, a lot of addicts, as the defense has already alleged, are...
