Hunter Biden trial heats up with woman's shocking showdown

In a dramatic turn of events at Hunter Biden's trial, the day began with an intense standoff in the hallway. During a brief morning break, NBC reported that Melissa Cohen-Biden, Hunter Biden's wife, approached former Trump White House aide Garrett Ziegler as he was about to enter the courtroom. She pointed her finger at him and shouted: “You have no right to be here, you Nazi piece of s…”, before running away. Ziegler did not respond to the outburst, but confirmed the incident NBC news, saying, “That's what I heard.” He added: “It's sad that I've been sitting here all this time and I haven't approached anyone.” When asked about the confrontation, Ziegler strongly denied the accusation, saying, “For the record, I'm not a Nazi, I'm a believer in the US Constitution. I haven't told them anything.”

As the courtroom drama continued, Cohen-Biden re-entered the room, glancing briefly at Ziegler before taking a seat next to the first lady.

The trial itself saw significant developments with the start of opening statements and the first testimony of witnesses. Hunter Biden, the president's only surviving son, faces three counts of possession of a firearm while on drugs, to which he has pleaded not guilty. U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika is presiding over the proceedings.

FBI agent Erika Jensen took the stand, testifying about the authenticity of Hunter Biden's infamous laptop, which has been at the center of controversy for years. Jensen testified that the laptop contained evidence of Hunter Biden's drug use and gun purchases.

Defense attorney Abbe Lowell challenged the charge, stressing the need to prove Hunter Biden “knowingly” broke the law and arguing he was in a “deep state of denial” about his addiction. Lowell also sought to discredit two key prosecution witnesses: the man who sold Hunter the gun and Hallie Biden, Beau Biden's widow, who had a romantic relationship with Hunter after Beau's death.

The trial's opening day was marked by a mix of legal arguments and personal drama, setting the stage for a contentious and closely watched legal battle.
