The grand jury heard over five hours of secret testimony from an ex-girlfriend who’s furious she got kicked to the curb after urging Hunter to get off drugs.
Zoe Kestan (28), appeared before the panel in Wilmington, Delaware on Tuesday, to give her very lengthy testimony.
She took the stand, immediately after Biden’s former stripper lover and mother of his child, gave her testimony.
Kestan, a lingerie and textile designer, who goes by the handle “weed slut 420”, was asked about Biden’s whereabouts and spending habits during 2018. This was when Biden and Kestan was seen attending art show openings and parties on Manhattan’s Lower East Side.
Kestan was asked specific questions pertaining to what hotels they stand at and whether Kestan knew where Biden’s money was coming from.
Kestan testified about shacking up with Biden at high-priced hotspots including the Four Seasons, Mercer, SIXTY SoHo and Soho Grand hotels in Manhattan and at the Hollywood Roosevelt, NoMad and Jeremy West Hollywood in Los Angeles, the source said.
At one point, the source said, Kestan recalled a month-long stay at LA’s celebrity-friendly Chateau Marmont, the scene of former “Saturday Night Live” star John Belushi’s fatal 1982 overdose.
It’s also the place where Biden admittedly “learned how to cook crack” before being “blacklisted” over complaints tied to his drug use during a five-month period in 2018, as revealed in his 2021 memoir, “Beautiful Things.”
Kestan stated on the record, Biden directed her to withdraw thousands of dollars at a time from ATMs and gave her cash to buy clothing, meals and other items, but also said she had no idea how he obtained the money.
Kestan was never mentioned by Biden in his memoir, but a 48 minute audio recording of the two of them was posted online last October.
The recording appears to combine two conversations held at different times.
Kestan, who’s around the same age as Biden’s eldest daughter, said in the recording that “one of my flaws, one of my devilish sides, is that I like to talk about things like you because I like to show off. Duh.”
“Do you think that the night that we had sex I wasn’t texting like three people being like: I’m lying in bed with this incredible man?” she said.
Federal agents tracked down Kestan at her apartment in New York City and slapped her with a subpoena to testify before the grand jury, saying her name had surfaced during their investigation.
Biden revealed that federal prosecutors in Delaware were “investigating my tax affairs” in December 2020 about a month after his dad, Joe Biden, was elected president but before he took office and he told CBS News in April that he was “being completely cooperative” but denied seeking a plea deal.
The probe reportedly involves Hunter Biden’s controversial, overseas business dealings. Last month, a partial copy of a subpoena surfaced that showed JPMorgan Chase Bank was ordered to turn over records related to any transactions involving him and the Bank of China.
On Tuesday, Lunden Roberts, who successfully sued Hunter Biden for paternity of her 3-year-old daughter, was photographed leaving the federal courthouse in Wilmington. Roberts declined to discuss her closed-door testimony.
The source familiar with Kestan’s testimony said Hunter Biden apparently impregnated Roberts shortly before meeting Kestan, whose 2018 birthday preceded the birth of Roberts’ daughter by two days, and that he never told her anything about Roberts or their child.
It was revealed that Roberts was a stripper at a Washington, DC club that Hunter frequented around the same time he was dating his late brother’s widow, Hallie Biden.
In his memoir, Hunter Biden claimed to have “no recollection” of what he called his “encounter” with Roberts, saying, “I was a mess, but a mess I’ve taken responsibility for.”
Kestan also felt “super-crazy” when she found out Hunter Biden married his second wife, Melissa Cohen, following a whirlwind, six-day romance in May 2019.
Kestan believes she’s responsible for Hunter Biden’s professed sobriety and his new career as a painter because she was “with him at the craziest point of his life” and told him that “art was a great way to see a hopeful future, rather than using drugs.
Kestan also feels she got “ditched” after a relationship during which Hunter Biden, whose son with Cohen, Beau Jr., turns 1 next month, was “adamant” that she use birth control.
