Hunter Biden trial reside: FBI agent testifies once more after laptop computer reveal

Welcome to DailyMail.com’s daily politics blog, with live coverage of the biggest stories on the people in power.

His wife Melissa Cohen was also at the center of drama when she called a Trump aide a ‘Nazi piece of s***’.

Here is what happened yesterday in court.

Hunter Biden’s ex-wife and the mother of three of his children Kathleen Buhle has taken the stand in his federal gun trial.

They were married for 24 years before an acrimonious split over his debaucherous lifestyle.

Buhle’s testimony is expected to include intimate details of his finances and drug use, which was once described by his ex-girlfriend Zoe Kestan – who is also set to testify – as smoking crack cocaine ‘every 20 minutes except when he slept.’

And according to previously reported divorce filings, Buhle made no secret of her contempt for Hunter’s conduct.

She said her ex-husband spent ‘extravagantly on his own interests (including drugs, alcohol, prostitutes, strip clubs, and gifts for women with whom he has sexual relations), while leaving the family with no funds to pay legitimate bills.’

Hollywood lawyer and Hunter Biden‘s ‘sugar brother’, Kevin Morris, is back in court to support the president’s son.

He is said to be ‘tapped out’ of cash after financially supporting Hunter’s legal battles over the last four and a half years to the tune of $6 million.

Morris, 61, decided to step in after believing Hunter had little support, but he has since confirmed he is no longer going to continue to lend money to him to fight his battles.

The withdrawal of financial support for the president’s son comes at the worst possible time for Hunter, 54, with two trials looming which could end up seeing him serve jail time.

Hunter’s attorney is trying to establish that Hunter’s large bank withdrawals could have gone to child support and other matters unrelated to drug purchases.

Abe Lowell asked the FBI agent Erika Jensen to comb through a $3.4 million statement from November 2018.

‘You’re not suggesting that all that money was used to buy drugs?’ Hunter’s attorney asked.

Jensen replied: ‘No.’

The agents went on to say that she did not know exactly where Hunter spent the money.

Lowell suggested it could have gone to Hunter’s business, family and others.

After FBI agent Erika Jensen is finished being cross-examined by the defense, Hunter Biden’s ex-wife Kathleen Buhle is expected to take the stand.

Buhle was married to the president’s son for 24 years and have three daughters together: Naomi (below), Finnegan and Maisy.

She has said she has forgiven Hunter for the thousands he spent feeding his addiction to crack cocaine, his infidelities and his lies.

The First Lady entered the court building for the third day of the trial accompanied by her sister Bonny Jacobs.

She has been at the case on each of the first three days.

She has been sitting directly behind Hunter in the first row of public benches.

During breaks in the trial she has been hugging and chatting with Hunter.

Hunter Biden walked into the Delaware court just before 9am on Wednesday morning with his wife Melissa Cohen.

She was at the center of drama on Tuesday for her reaction to prosecutors revealing his laptop in court and for calling a former Trump aide a ‘Nazi piece of s***’.

Vice president Kamala Harris took a victory lap over Donald Trump during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Tuesday night, joking in reference to the shocking guilty verdict last week: ‘Cheaters don’t like getting caught.’

The former San Francisco DA deflected a light-hearted question from Kimmel about whether the people she watched the verdict with were ‘pretending to not be happy’ when the conviction was announced.

Last week, Trump was convicted on all counts related to a scheme during his 2016 presidential campaign to pay off porn actor Stormy Daniels, who said the pair had sex in 2006, something he has denied.

An attack on the US embassy in Lebanon was foiled after a Syrian man opened fire and was captured.

The man was was arrested after the shooting near the US embassy in Beirut on Wednesday, the Lebanese army said, with the embassy saying its staff were safe.

The embassy, in the northern suburb of Awkar, ‘was subjected to gunfire by a person holding Syrian nationality.’ the army said in a statement on X, formerly Twitter.

President Joe Biden arrived in France on Wednesday for a state visit that will include marking the 80th anniversary of D-Day at Normandy and a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

During his trip, Biden, 81, will push to deepen transatlantic ties as Russia steps up its attack on Ukraine and the Europe faces elections that could upset the current geopolitical order.

He will make what the White House is billing as a major speech, where he will warn about the threats to democracy and the rise of dictators.

‘It’s going to be action packed and, I think, extremely moving,’ National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said, adding that it’s an ‘opportunity for him to say thank you directly to the veterans who saved democracy, saved the free world, and set the stage for the decades of peace and prosperity that followed.’

Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday officially got behind his supporters using mail-in ballots and voting early in the November election with the launch of an initiative dubbed ‘Swamp the Vote USA.’

‘Many Republicans like to vote on Election Day and we must swamp the radical Democrats with massive turnout on Tuesday, November 5,’ Trump said.

The ex-president and presumptive Republican nominee filmed a video at Mar-a-Lago where he explained that he still wanted elections to be conducted only on Election Day with paper ballots and voter ID.

Joe Biden‘s cognitive decline has become readily apparent to dozens of high-ranking officials in recent months, a bombshell new report claims.

More than 45 Republican and Democratic lawmakers and staffers offered insight on the subject, citing recent mistakes by the commander-in-chief they found concerning.

Aired in the midst of an election year, the report paints a picture of a president considerably slower than days’ past, while the White House maintains the 81-year-old is still a top leader.

The dozens who spoke to The Wall Street Journal disagreed – describing a president who today speaks so softly that some struggle to even understand what he’s saying.
