First lady Jill Biden was in attendance at the Wilmington, Delaware court on Monday, along with Hunter's son-in-law Peter Neal, sister Ashley, and wife Melissa.Most of the potential jurors and the final jurors selected told the court that they knew someone — often a family member — who had struggled with addiction to alcohol or opioids.
In their questions to potential jurors, Biden's defense team signaled they will argue that Hunter had been addicted to drugs but believed he was in recovery at the time he bought the gun. The first witness for the prosecution will be a special agent from the FBI who worked on Biden's case.Biden last September with crimes related to making false statements on a form when he purchased a firearm in 2018 that prosecutors allege he possessed while using a narcotic.
