President Biden visited the home of his daughter-in-law Hallie Biden ahead of the ninth anniversary of his son Beau’s death and before Hallie is scheduled to testify as a witness in Hunter Biden’s upcoming gun crime trial.
Hunter is charged with making false statements when purchasing a firearm in 2018.
Hallie, who was in a romantic relationship with Hunter at the time, reportedly threw the gun owned by Hunter in a dumpster near a school.
The Biden visit came amid criticism of the president visiting a witness in his son’s criminal case.
In other developments, the judge said prosecutors must show Hunter was addicted to drugs to argue he falsely purchased the gun while using narcotics, which he has pleaded not guilty to.
Hunter’s lawyers aim to block certain personal details from being presented to the jury that could unfairly prejudice them.
