According to a New York Post report, President Biden made a surprise nighttime visit to the Delaware home of Hallie Biden on Sunday. The visit comes just days before she’s due to testify in Hunter Biden’s federal gun trial.
From The New York Post:
Biden stopped by Hallie’s home around 8 p.m. for a brief private talk eight days before the 54-year-old first son’s trial is scheduled to stand trial beginning June 3.
Hallie dated Hunter at the time of his alleged gun crimes and is one of a dozen expected witnesses.
She was married to the president’s son Beau Biden, who died in 2015 of brain cancer, before her relationship with his troubled younger brother.
Prosecutors allege Hunter lied about his drug use on gun purchase forms and then briefly illegally possessed at least one weapon — which Hallie disposed of in a public dumpster in 2018.
Although many commentators noted the awkward optics due to the looming trial, the visit came four days before the anniversary of Beau’s death.
White House spokesman Andrew Bates told The Post that the president didn’t discuss the trial with Hallie Biden during the visit.
“No,” he replied. “He visited her because of the approaching 9th anniversary of Beau’s passing.”
