On Tuesday morning, prosecutors showed a list of witnesses who may be called to testify. Here is who they are:
The first prosecution witness sworn in on Tuesday was FBI special agent Erika Jensen. Prosecutors said in a court filing that Jensen will introduce evidence including text messages and admissions in his memoir, "Beautiful Things," which the government says shows Biden was using illicit drugs at the time he purchased a firearm.
The indictment of Biden said that he certified on a federally mandated form "that he was not an unlawful user of, and addicted to, any stimulant, narcotic drug, and any other controlled substance, when in fact, as he knew, that statement was false and fictitious."

Prosecutors will also call Biden's sister-in-law, Hallie Biden, to testify about his drug use. The pair were in a romantic relationship in 2018. Hallie Biden observed Hunter using drugs on multiple occasions, according to prosecutors, and she and her children discovered drug paraphernalia and drugs in his possession when they searched his bags, backpacks and vehicle in an effort to help him get sober.
Hallie Biden, identified as Witness 3, "observed that the defendant frequently lost phones and changed phones, which explains gaps in time where there are no messages, and she also had various text message exchanges with the defendant," prosecutors said.
Gordon Cleveland is an employee of Starquest Shooters and Survival Supply in Wilmington, Delaware, who sold Biden a gun. He will be called to testify that Biden purchased a Colt Cobra 38SPL revolver, a HKS Speedloader for the .38 special and 25 rounds of Hornady "American Gunner" ammunition.
Cleveland is expected to tell jurors that Biden completed ATF Form 4473, federally required background check paperwork, which asked whether he was an unlawful user of, or addicted to, any depressant, stimulant, or narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance, and that Biden lied and answered, "no." If Biden had answered, "yes," the gun seller could not have sold him a gun, prosecutors said.

Prosecutors may call DEA Supervisory Special Agent Joshua Romig as an expert witness on "coded messages" allegedly sent by Biden, which will prove his drug use and support the government's allegation that Biden lied on a federal gun form.
A forensic chemist, Dr. Jason Brewer, will be asked about his analysis of the brown leather pouch that allegedly belonged to Biden and his opinion that the residue is cocaine based on his testing and evidence, prosecutors said.
