President Joe Biden made a personal visit to the home of his daughter-in-law, Hallie Biden, on the brink of a significant family anniversary and prior legal proceedings involving another family member.
The visit precedes the ninth death anniversary of Beau Biden and the gun charge trial of his brother, Hunter Biden, Fox News reported.
Last Sunday evening, she noted President Biden's visit to Hallie Biden's residence, coinciding with family remembrance and upcoming legal matters. Hallie Biden, Beau Biden's widow, is expected to testify in Hunter Biden's trial. Hunter faces charges of falsifying information on a federal form during a 2018 firearm purchase.
Hunter Biden, Hallie's brother-in-law, began a relationship with her around the time of the incident. He has pleaded not guilty, admitting he lied about his drug use on the purchase form. Hallie reportedly discarded the firearm in a dumpster, as documented in a police report cited by Fox News.
Pretrial motions focus on the scrutiny of details for the trial, including arguments over the admissibility of potentially prejudicial information about Hunter's past, such as his drug use and personal expenditures.
The defense argues to exclude Hunter's past behaviors, such as naval discharge and spending on entertainment, to avoid prejudice, claiming they are irrelevant to the gun charges.
Judge Maryellen Noreika highlighted the difficulty of proving Hunter Biden's drug use during the firearm purchase, a key component affecting the legality of his gun ownership.
The trial stirs public, media, and political reactions. Critics question President Biden's recent visit to Hallie's home before the trial, while allies defend it as a supportive gesture amid a family tragedy's anniversary.
