Hunter Biden gun trial live: President’s son arrives at court with wife Melissa and stepmom Jill for jury selection

Welcome to DailyMail.com’s live daily politics blog, with updates from Hunter Biden’s gun trial in Delaware.

The president’s scandal-plagued son will appear in court for jury selection, just days after Donald Trump was found guilty on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the Manhattan hush money case.

Hunter is accused of lying about his drug use when he purchased a gun and could face up to 25 years in federal prison if found guilty on all three charges.

Here is a rundown of all the evidence federal prosecutors plan to use.

Jill Biden joined Hunter Biden in court on Monday to show her support for her stepson.

The first lady, wearing a purple pantsuit, was spotted walking into the courthouse in Wilmington, Delaware.

She and President Joe Biden changed their schedule to arrive in Wilmington on Sunday night instead of Monday as scheduled.

Monday is also Jill Biden’s birthday. She turns 73.

She has said numerous times she thinks Hunter Biden is innocent.

I think what they are doing to Hunter is cruel,’ Jill Biden told MSNBC in November. ‘I’m really proud of how Hunter has rebuilt his life after addiction. I love my son.’

Hunter Biden has arrived in court with his wife Melissa Cohen for jury selection in his historic gun trial.

The president’s son walked into the federal court in Wilmington, Delaware, without addressing the waiting media.

As he entered the building, he was embraced by two men who appeared to be part of his entourage.

A security guard asked if he had any computers or cables on him, to which he replied: ‘No’.

He placed his wallet on a table and then walked through a scanner.

The government said it has videos and photographs of Hunter Biden smoking crack or with drug paraphernalia as well as messages sent to purported street dealers arranging drug purchases.

The evidence was collected from Biden’s iCloud account, laptop and phone messages, prosecutors have said.

The government said it may call Hunter Biden’s ex-wife, Kathleen Buhle, and other romantic partners to describe his addiction around the time of the gun purchase and possession.

Prosecutors said they plan to introduce excerpts from Biden’s 2021 book, Beautiful Things, in which he described himself as a ‘crack addict’ with no plans beyond ‘the moment-to-moment demands of the crack pipe.’

Releasing the audio recording of Joe Biden’s bumbling interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur would make phony versions more believable, the Justice Department has claimed.

The White House is fighting a rearguard action to keep the tape secret after the president was described as an ‘elderly man with a poor memory’ by Hur during his investigation into the mishandling of classified documents.

A transcript revealed that the president forgot the year his son Beau died, when Trump was elected, and said ‘I don’t recall’, ‘I don’t remember’ and ‘I have no goddamn idea’ more than 100 times while cracking jokes and making car noises.

Dr. Anthony Fauci is preparing for a grilling on COVID today in Congress after damning testimony from an interview in January was revealed.

Republicans plan to grill him about COVID restrictions he put in place, that he admitted didn’t do much to ‘slow the spread’ of the virus.

He also admitted that he ‘made up’ up the six-foot social distancing rule and other measures to ‘protect’ Americans.

Here are the other bombshell takeaways from his testimony as he gets set to face lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
