Hunter Biden's wife Melissa strode up to a former Trump staffer and called him a ‘Nazi piece of [expletive]’ in a dramatic outburst outside the Delaware courtroom of the First Son’s gun crimes trial Tuesday morning. Melissa, wearing a baby blue jacket, pink shirt and heels, got six inches from former Trump staffer Garrett Ziegler who was attending the trial, pointed in his face and said ‘You have no right to be here you Nazi piece of [expletive].’
Ziegler did not reply. He has become infamous to the Bidens, after publishing extensive material from Hunter’s laptop through his right wing nonprofit Marco Polo. ‘I haven’t said one word to them,’ Ziegler told DailyMail.com. ‘I have been totally professional sat here with my hands in my lap the whole time.
‘And for the record, I am not a Nazi. I believe in the US constitution.’ Hunter is currently suing Ziegler in California federal court for alleged ‘computer hacking’, over embarrassing photos, videos and other material he published from Hunter’s abandoned laptop. Before Melissa’s outburst, Hunter’s ‘sugar brother’ Hollywood lawyer Kevin Morris was staring him down from the front row of the courtroom’s public seating, where he sat next to Hunter’s half-sister Ashley Biden and stepmother First Lady Jill Biden.
‘I’m not here to make a scene,’ Ziegler added. ‘She made a scene.’ He said that Hunter and his attorney Kevin Morris’ lawsuits against him were ‘completely frivolous’. ‘Hunter should drop the civil suits and focus on paying his attorneys. Unlike him, I have to pay. My attorneys don’t work for free,’ he said, referencing reporting that Morris’ multi-million-dollar loans to Hunter to fund his legal defense were tapped out and the First Son has stopped paying his burgeoning bills to Lowell’s firm, Winston & Strawn.
The morning's proceedings saw both the prosecution and defense give their opening statements to the jury, followed by testimony from FBI Special Agent Erika Jansen, who investigated Hunter’s gun crimes. Prosecutors told court that Hunter illegally bought a revolver and 'full metal jacket' bullets while addicted to crack cocaine and living a life of 'non-stop debauchery '.
At the opening of his trial on gun and drug charges, prosecutors said Biden was 'smoking crack every 15 minutes' when he purchased the gun on October 12, 2018. Biden has pleaded not guilty to two charges related to lying on his federal gun purchase form by saying he was not an addict, and one charge of possessing a firearm while addicted to narcotics.
FBI special agent Erika Jensen was the first witness to take the stand. She was assigned to Hunter's case last fall. Prosecutor Derek Hines told the jury Biden went into StarQuest Shooters & Survival Supply and 'surveyed its large inventory' before selecting a .38-caliber Colt Cobra revolver. He also bought a 'speed loader' allowing the five rounds to be loaded quickly.
Mr Hines said he purchased a type of 'lethal ammunition' known as 'full metal jacket' which was better at 'ripping to shreds what it comes into contact with'. Hines also told the jury the defendant had filled out a federal gun purchase form watched by a gun store employee. They were shown the form and where he put an ‘X’ in response to a question to show that he was not a drug user (druggie).
Hunter was in possession of the gun for 11 days, the jury was told. During that time someone close to him became concerned. Hines said: ‘That person is Hallie Biden, his brother’s widow, who he was in a romantic relationship with.’
