Today marks the commencement of the highly anticipated trial involving Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, at the courthouse in Wilmington. The proceedings began with jury selection, a process that is still ongoing as potential jurors are being vetted. Hunter Biden, accompanied by his attorney, made his entrance into the courtroom, followed by a surprise appearance from First Lady Jill Biden on her 73rd birthday.
President Biden has been closely involved, spending time with his son over the weekend and maintaining regular communication during the trial, as reported by The New York Times. Judge Mary Ellen Noryka initiated the jury selection at 8:46 a.m., with some technical difficulties experienced with the audio system, which are being addressed. Prospective jurors were instructed not to research the case online and were required to remove their phones from the courtroom.
