Buhle testified under subpoena, according to CNN. Her testimony lasted just 15 minutes.

NBC News report Regarding Buhle’s testimony:
At times, she found broken pipes, pipe cleaners, white powder, white crystal debris, and other drug paraphernalia. She also searched Biden’s car for drugs when he left it for his daughters to use because she did not want them to drive a car with drugs in it.
She also testified that her husband continued to work and socialize with family and friends while using drugs. Wise specifically asked whether Buhl had observed Biden “functioning” while using drugs, in what seemed to be a callback to Lowell’s comments yesterday that there is no such thing as a “high-functioning crack addict.”
