Peter Neal’s sweet message to his wife Naomi Biden after she was ambushed on a witness stand in Hunter’s gun trial and amid pregnancy speculation

Peter Neal posted a touching message to wife Naomi Biden after she was ambushed on the witness stand in her father Hunter’s federal gun trial and amid speculation that she is pregnant.

“I love you,” Neal wrote on his Instagram stories. The text was placed above a photo of Naomi smiling, with her back to the camera but her head towards the lens. Her belly is not visible.

The duo appears to be on a weekend getaway. Naomi is standing at the door with a number on it, it seems to be some kind of hotel room. The next photo in his story is of a peacock standing in front of a hotel room.

The two tied the knot in November 2022 at a White House wedding. Peter was in court this past week to support his wife when Naomi was bombarded with devastating text messages that blew a hole in her father’s defense in the federal gun trial.

Summary: Jill Biden watches as granddaughter Naomi Biden is ambushed on the witness stand with her own text message to Hunter:

Hunter Biden’s daughter Naomi was ambushed Friday with devastating text messages that blew a hole in her father’s defense in the federal gun trial.

First Lady Jill Biden watched from the gallery as her granddaughter testified about interactions with her father in rehab and when he was deep in a crack cocaine addiction.

It came on another dramatic day in the trial, with the prosecution wrapping up the case after less than a week and Naomi being questioned about life with her father.

Initially, under questioning by Hunter’s attorney Abbe Lowell, she painted a rosy picture of Hunter’s sobriety leading up to his October 2018 gun purchase, for which he is charged.

Naomi said she visited Hunter with her then-boyfriend Peter in Los Angeles in August 2018, where Hunter had been undergoing a short rehabilitation period.

“He seemed the clearest I had ever seen him since my uncle died,” she said, referring to Beau Biden who died of brain cancer on May 30, 2015.

“He seemed really great,” Naomi added. “I told him I was so proud of him and so proud to introduce Peter to him.”

Trump has scheduled a probation hearing ahead of sentencing in a hush-money case

Former President Donald Trump is scheduled for a virtual mock interview on Monday after a New York jury found him guilty of all 34 felony counts of falsifying company records in his “hush money” trial.

According to multiple reports, the former president will participate in the hearing from his home in Mar-a-Lago. The probation interview is a normal process for Trump’s pre-sentencing report.

The interview is the next step in the sentencing process, as Judge Juan Merchan will sentence the former president on July 11, just days before the Republican National Convention begins in Milwaukee. Wisconsin.

The interview will be conducted by a probation officer in the presence of Trump’s lawyer Todd Blanche and will be followed by a report to the judge.
