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

The president’s son walked into the federal courthouse 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 with 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 photos of Hunter Biden smoking crack or drug paraphernalia, as well as messages sent to alleged street dealers arranging drug purchases.

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

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

DOJ’s bizarre reason for not releasing audio of Biden’s blundering interview with special counsel Robert Hur

Releasing the audio recording of Joe Biden’s awkward interview with special counsel Robert Hur would make hoaxes more credible, the Justice Department claims.

The White House is fighting a rearguard action to keep the tape secret after Hur was described as an “older man with a bad memory” during his investigation into the mishandling of classified documents.

A transcript showed that the president forgot the year his son Beau died, when Trump was elected, and said more than a hundred times during the crackdown: “I don’t remember,” “I don’t remember,” and “I no fucking idea’. joking and making car noises.
