deliberations could start at any minute with hunter biden's fate in the jury's hands? we're live outside the courtroom. >> a big meeting today for former president trump ahead of his sentencing and his hush money felony conviction, trump will meet with save probation official free pre-sentencing interview, and it could be the next big thing for apple, the company just announced new artificial intelligence feature there's for the iphone we're following these major developing stories and many more all coming in right here to cnn news central we begin this hour with breaking news right now, prosecutors in a hunter biden trial our giving their rebuttal after defense attorneys wrapped up their closing arguments moments ago, biden's team is trying to prevent the president's son from becoming a convicted felon. >> and keep him out of jail. the defense telling jurors at the prosecution's case is built on suspicion and conjecture, and they accused prosecutors of taking biden's words out of context. now, a hunter biden faces three felony counts of illegally purchasing and possessing a gun while abusing or being addicted to drugs. he's pleaded not guilty to all those charges. once the prosecution makes its final points than the case will be in the jury's hands to decide. >> let's get you outside the courthouse in wilmington, delaware all right. >> now, what cnn's paula reid. so paula, take us through what's happening right now all right. >> now, prosecutors are backed up for their rebuttal. this is the final word that the jury will hear from lawyers before they begin their deliberation. hello. earlier today, prosecutor has got up and gave their closing arguments, and it's interesting, they started by pointing at some folks in the gallery i was in court earlier today, and i can tell you this is the most crowded courtroom i bet in throughout this trial. the first row was so packed with a first lady, one of hunter sisters. you had his wife. so many people wanted to show their support that the secret service barely fit on the bench, and prosecutor started their arguments by pointing to the gallery and saying those people don't matter. it's clear that prosecutors might be concerned that the first lady being here most days and this enormous show of support for hunter biden could harm their case instead, they directly addressed one of the most challenging things that they need to prove here. and that is that hunter biden knowingly lied on that form when he purchased this gun, they argue that he knew that he was using or addicted to drugs when he purchased this gun. he also said, look, if he hadn't just been to rehab, maybe we could buy the idea that he didn't realize he had a problem they believe not only did he know he had a problem, they believe they have presented enough evidence to the jury to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he was using illegal drugs during the time he owned this gun, then abbe lowell hunters lead defense attorney had a chance to get up and he use the comparison of a magician arguing to the jury that prosecutor it's worth trying to perform some sort of trick us sleight of hand and pointed to the fact that they are presented no direct evidence of hunter biden using drugs while he owned this gun. he went after specifically two of hunter's former ex girlfriend who testified during this trial. first, a woman that he met at a gentleman's club who took a lot of the photos that we saw throughout this trial of hunter using and drugs. and he pointed out, look, there are no photos from october 2018 when he owned this guy he also went after a hunter biden's former sister-in-law and former girlfriend or sister-in-law and former girlfriend, hallie biden, signaled she couldn't even get details about when she found the gun and alleged drug paraphernalia but elliott and hundreds car she couldn't get certain details right. >> so they close their argument reminding the jury that their clients should not be in properly convicted here, neighbours the jury will probably get this case in the next hour or so. >> but that's towards the end of the court de it's unlikely those still possible that we'll get a verdict today we will be watching for any news from those deliberations potentially in the notes that they might send the judge paula reid. >> thanks so much for the update. breanna the first former us president to be convicted of a crime, has his first ever meeting with a probation official today, former president trump will meet within new york city probation official free pre-sentencing interview. >> this is an interview that will be virtual trump conferencing in from mar-a-lago i'll go trump attorney todd blanche will also be present, and it will be trump's first meeting with a probation official since a jury convicted him of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, seeing a national correspondent, brynn grasses, joining us now on this, brynn, would type of questions we'll be asked of the former president in this interview yes. >> briana. so this is very customary for these probation officers to conduct these interviews after someone has either pleaded guilty or is convicted in the case of the former president. and questions are really going to go into what's the former president's background, what's his work history? what's his family background? but has he abused drugs or alcohol? a lot of questions like that, there might even be a question where he asks the former president, what does he think his punishment should be? where of course the former president can say that he wants it to be lenient. who knows, it we don't know exactly what questions are going to be pertinent to this interview. but what we do know is that this is very costly to marry again, and this is what is going to sort of make the report that then given to the judge in this case is judge juan merchan, and it's just one aspect of what he will consider as part of the sentencing when that finally happens on july 11. remember the former president is facing anywhere from community service up to possibly 40 the years in prison. so this is one aspect of it. we know also that the trump team is going to hand in their recommendation for sentencing later this week. so certainly this is not unusual that this is happening, but certainly historic as it is happening to donald trump. >> yeah certainly is brynn grass. thank you for that. boris let's discuss with former federal prosecutor, elliot williams, eliot. >> thanks for being with us. so donald trump doesn't necessarily have to take part in this meeting today. >> why is he doing? >> it's in his interests if he has reasons to articulate why he thinks his sentence should be lower that he can everyone has an opportunity to do so. so, you know, he can say what he means du his family and his community, why he thinks it's sentence ought to be lowered. and so it's in an interest of a defendant to do so. >> could it potentially hurt him if he starts talking about absolutely conspiracy and the ways that he feels that the biden administration is going after him absolutely. this is not so this pre-sentence meeting isn't necessarily something that works to the defendants benefit, but a judge can consider a defendant's behavior against him if he's non-compliant, if he's combative, if he starts popping off. in general, acceptance of responsibility is an important aspect of the sentencing process the system some wants defendants to be able to say, look, i'm convicted, i'm sorry, i did it. and that can actually lower someone sentence. >> that's not at all what we've seen from trump and his attorneys. in fact, they are vowing that they're going to appeal this and that they are going to win an appeal. what is a successful appeal look like? >> well, since that's what he looks like, a number of things. number one, it could be overturned think an entire conviction, right. so if there is some factual or legal defect in the decision to convict a person, the whole thing can be thrown out. an appeals court could send the case back down for another trial. perhaps if there's some fixable error along way or his sentence could be appealed. now, notice that he he won't really appeal until after he is sentenced. and perhaps there's an error at the sentencing process and the appeals court can can can send the case back down. any number of things can happen. so we're not out of the legal proceedings on this one. >> i know you'd love it when i asked you questions that are like kind of impossible. of course, but i won't on that i asked you a questions that are impossible to answer about 100 biden yeah. >> because it hasn't happened yet the prosecution is in the midst of its rebuttal, right now. soon enough, judge, is gonna give the jury instructions are going to begin deliberations. do you think the prosecution has proven their case? >> i think that a jury could vote to convict here. a jury could also vote to acquit here. and i'm not being cute with that answer, but there's plausible arguments both ways that prosecutors have established number one, that there was drug use. number two, that there's acknowledgment of an individual having been addicted to drugs and use drugs over a period of time. and number three, that this individual possessed firearm during that time. now, a jury could vote to convict both the lying on the application to target the gun, but also the possession while addicted right. now on the other hand, a jury could also say, wait a second prosecutors, you didn't say or establish that this individual used or possess these drugs during october 2018 and write their or that the defendant knowingly did so he might have thought in his mind that he was cleaned, that he was fixing his life up and so on and so reasonably a jury could come either come down in either direction here it's just a question of what the jury chooses to believe and what they thought of these witnesses in this very emotional trial, does it surprise you that he didn't testify because the bidens are still pretty popular in delaware. this is a jury that's made up of all folks from delaware hunter has been described as extremely charming. do you think that he could have made a compelling argument on the standard would have persuaded the jury absolutely literally mathematically certainty no. >> because no matter how popular or politically charismatic, or charming and individual might be, you can't stay and up to being cross-examined on very devastating facts and e once once he takes the stand, once he were to take the stand, he would open himself up to statements. he's made sure books, he's written photographs that he appears in that maybe could not come up where he not to have taken the stance would be incredibly rescue for him to him done so now, again, charming and compelling and these are emotionally very sensitive issues about rejection and so on and is very humanizing. but cross-examination is very risky. you very rarely see defendants take a stand on their own defense. and here would have been no different. and early on, we got reporting that one juror got emotional hearing discussion of substance abuse in a way that it affected him. yeah. so this is the gun the federal gun charge case in delaware. he has a case in california about tax evasion. could one result from the jury here potentially change the way it his team approaches that case in california. well, the big way is that because if he's convicted here, he will have felony convictions. >> you'll have a criminal record. so number one, that affects him at sentencing. if he is convicted in the california trial number two, any state where to have testified here, any statements he gave at trial could potentially have come up in the california case and given evidence there as well. so it was once again in his interests not to testify now point because it becomes a statement on the record occurred, but in terms of the approach probably not on a day-to-day level. it's just more a function of what it would mean to him as a defendant with that conviction hanging over his head. generally, these two cases have a lot to do with the defendants mindset at the time that these things took place, right? >> whether he thought he was an addict think when he purchased the weapon and filled out that form, whether he intentionally meant to skip paying taxes as a former prosecutor, how difficult is it to prove a case like that? >> oh, it can be hard. it can be very hard and it's not just these cases. boris, at the law criminal law is often about what's in someone's mind. and there's different mental states, whether it's willful, knowing those are different states that apply to different cases and absence statements from an individual absent written remarks, they've been whatever else often prosecutors have to try to get an a defendants have based on the evidence around this person, and it can be tricky and often convictions can get sunk on the basis of having proven that the thing happened. but you just couldn't prove that the guy knew that he was doing it at the time that that's often a common reason for a conviction not happening, something getting convicted. >> elliot williams, appreciate the insight and looking into the crystal
