Hunter Biden's Wife Lashes Out At Former Trump Aide During Gun Trial

Hunter Biden, 54, is currently on trial for gun-related charges dating back to October 2018. The President's son is facing accusations of deceiving a gun dealer with a federal license, providing false information on the gun application, and unlawfully possessing the gun for 11 days.

A jury was selected on Monday, opening statements were delivered on Tuesday, and the first witnesses took the stand later that afternoon.

Outside the courtroom where Hunter Biden is on trial for gun charges, Melissa Cohen Biden, 38, the wife of Hunter, lashed out at Garrett Ziegler, 28, a former Trump aide.

As The Blast reported, Hunter Biden is currently facing trial for allegedly lying on the paperwork needed to buy a Colt Cobra revolver in 2018. He is accused of giving false information during the gun purchase regarding his drug addiction.

Despite being open and honest about his addiction in the past, President Joe Biden's son has pleaded not guilty to the three charges.

History has been made twice within a few days. First, Hunter Biden's trial marks the first time a President has ever faced the challenge of running the country while their child is on trial. Second, a jury found Donald Trump guilty on 34 charges last week, making him the first President in history to become a convicted felon.

According to NBC, outside of the courthouse on Tuesday, 38-year-old Melissa Cohen Biden lashed out at Garrett Ziegler, a former Trump aide, who was sued by Hunter Biden last year for publishing the contents of his infamous laptop.

Hunter's wife approached Ziegler at the trial, pointing her finger at him, saying, "You have no right to be here, you Nazi piece of sh-t." She then walked away and returned to the courtroom alongside first lady Jill Biden.

NBC further reported that Ziegler did not respond to her remarks, but he did confirm the encounter with Hunter Biden's wife. "It's sad I've been sitting here the whole time and haven’t approached anyone," he said, according to the outlet.

"For the record, I’m not a Nazi, I’m a believer in the U.S. Constitution. I haven’t said one thing to them," Ziegler added.

Melissa was also asked about the encounter, to which she claimed Ziegler had called her "the most horrific Jewish slurs." She then told reporters that he should be asked why "he's never called Jared Kushner any of those Jewish slurs," referring to Trump's son-in-law.

During the trial, the jury was presented with Hunter Biden's old laptop, which was the same one he had left at a Delaware repair shop and never collected. In 2020, the laptop's contents found their way to Republicans and were publicly leaked, exposing highly personal messages about his professional and personal life.

He filed a lawsuit against Garrett Ziegler over the data breach.

The laptop became a popular topic during Tuesday's court testimony, with FBI agent Erica Jensen testifying that it was "obtained via subpoena from the Delaware computer shop where Trump's allies said it was abandoned and they too were able to access it," per NBC.

“This is the laptop that was recovered from the computer store,” she said. Jensen was able to confirm with the serial number on the back of the laptop as it matched the serial number provided in Apple Inc.’s response to a subpoena.

On Tuesday, Prosecutor Derek Hines told the jury that Hunter Biden was trying to obtain drugs just days after he lied on the form.

“No one is allowed to lie on a federal form like that, even Hunter Biden,” Hines said during court, per PBS. “He crossed the line when he chose to buy a gun and lied about a federal background check ... the defendant’s choice to buy a gun is why we are here.”

“When the defendant filled out that form, he knew he was a drug addict,” Hines claimed, adding that prosecutors don’t have to prove he was using the day he purchased the firearm.

Hunter Biden faces three felony charges related to buying a Colt revolver while he was struggling with a crack addiction, as mentioned in his memoir. The trial is ongoing.
