\n WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) \u2014 In a span of less than 48 hours this past week, first lady Jill Biden shuttled from a Normandy ceremony marking the 80th anniversary of the D-Day invasion in France to the front row of a Delaware courtroom, where Hunter Biden is on trial in a gun case, and then back to Paris for an elaborate state visit at \u00c9lys\u00e9e Palace.\u201cHere we are again,\u201d the first lady said with a laugh as she and President Joe Biden were greeted by French President Emanuel Macron and his wife, Brigette, at the palace on Saturday, the light comment an oblique nod to her transatlantic commute.It was a manifestation of the great lengths to which the Biden family has gone to support Hunter Biden as he stands trial in Wilmington, Delaware, accused of lying on a federal gun purchase form when he said he did not have a drug problem. Jill Biden has been a regular presence in the courtroom, buttressed by a rotating cast of other family members.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe back and forth, the push and pull, of family responsibilities, of first lady duties, of her career, of the campaign \u2014 that\u2019s just who she is,\u201d said Elizabeth Alexander, the first lady\u2019s communications director.<\/p>\n
Every family wrestles with personal challenges, and politicians are often left to navigate those dynamics in public. But the very expansive airing in court of tawdry details surrounding Hunter Biden\u2019s addiction \u2013 in the glare of an election year — is of an order of greater magnitude. And the president\u2019s family has shown a determination to ensure Hunter Biden does not weather it alone. <\/p>\n
The trial resumes Monday. Hunter Biden has pleaded not guilty to the charges, but he does not deny a drug problem. His memoir, \u201cBeautiful Things,\u201d is all about hitting bottom after his brother Beau\u2019s death in 2015 from cancer. But his lawyers say he did not consider himself to be an \u201caddict\u201d at the time he filled out the gun purchase form in 2018 to buy a revolver. <\/p>\n
BOTH PRESIDENT AND A DAD Joe Biden has steered clear of the courtroom and said little about the case, wary of creating an impression of interfering in a criminal matter brought by his own Justice Department. But the president has long walked the line between public servant and father. At just 30, the Democrat was sworn in as Delaware\u2019s junior senator from a hospital room where his young sons were recuperating from a car accident that killed his wife and baby daughter. In grainy black-and-white newsreels, Biden can been seen holding 3-year-old Hunter as the new senator takes the oath and 4-year-old Beau watches from a hospital bed. Joe Biden pledged then that if there was ever a conflict between \u201cmy being a good father and being a good senator,\u201d he would resign.The president did put out a brief written statement as Hunter Biden\u2019s trial began. \u201cAs the president, I don\u2019t and won\u2019t comment on pending federal cases, but as a dad, I have boundless love for my son, confidence in him, and respect for his strength,\u201d he said. \u201cOur family has been through a lot together, and Jill and I are going to continue to be there for Hunter and our family with our love and support.\u201d<\/p>\n
The case followed him to Normandy nonetheless, where Biden was asked in an ABC interview whether he thought his son would get a fair trial and whether the president would rule out pardoning his son if there was a guilty verdict.Biden answered with a terse \u201cyes\u201d on both matters.SHOW OF SUPPORTOver the trial\u2019s first week, Jill Biden was in court four days out of five, missing only Thursday due to the D-Day events. Others who have taken seats in the courtroom at various points are Hunter\u2019s sister Ashley, aunts Bonny Jacobs and Valerie Owens and his wife, Melissa Cohen Biden. The first lady has leaned over the court railing to embrace Hunter, who has called her mom since she married Joe Biden in 1977. She has walked hand in hand with him out of the courtroom. She has listened to hours of testimony. Hunter has not made it easy for his family, and the evidence in the case has been a highly personal tour of his mistakes and drug use, some kind of nightmare version of \u201cThis is Your Life.\u201d <\/p>\n
Jurors have listened to hours of testimony from his ex-wife, a former girlfriend and his brother\u2019s widow, who between them painted a picture of strip club trips, infidelity, habitual crack use and their failed efforts to help him get clean. Jurors saw images of the president\u2019s son bare-chested and disheveled in a filthy room and half-naked holding crack pipes. And they watched a video of his crack cocaine being weighed on a scale.Federal prosecutors have argued the evidence was necessary to prove to jurors that Hunter Biden, 54, was in the throes of addiction when he bought the gun and therefore lied when he checked \u201cno\u201d on the form that asked whether he was \u201can unlawful user of, or addicted to\u201d drugs. On Friday, his eldest daughter, Naomi, 30, testified for the defense, telling jurors a hopeful story about how her father seemed to be getting better around the time of the gun purchase.<\/p>\n
\u201cI told him I was so proud of him,\u201d she said softly. But then prosecutor Leo Wise showed her texts that showed erratic behavior during that same period. Her father did not respond to her message for hours, then asked her at 2 a.m. whether her boyfriend could meet up to switch cars. \u201cRight now?\u201d she responded. \u201cI\u2019m really sorry dad I can\u2019t take this.\u201dWhen she got off the stand, she stopped at the defense table, pausing to hug her dad before she left the courtroom.By Friday afternoon, the first lady was headed back to France for the state dinner. Her transcontinental flights underscore the importance of family to the Bidens writ large, said Carl Sferrazza Anthony, an expert on first ladies and author of \u201cCamera Girl,\u201d about Jacqueline Kennedy.\u201cShe understands that at the end of the day what matters is her son and his well-being and knowing he has support and knowing, also, the vulnerability of someone who has been in recovery,\u201d Anthony said. A FAMILIAR STORY Patrick Kennedy, a former congressman and leading voice on mental health and addiction, said Hunter Biden\u2019s story is so common that he expected many Americans would see something familiar in it, however disturbing or embarrassing it seems. Kennedy himself struggled with drug addiction and is the son of a famous lawmaker, the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass.\u201cThe disease of addiction seems to be what is on trial here,\u201d he said, arguing that a big part of the case is the definition of sobriety. Are you sober when you are not taking drugs? Or are you sober when there has been a profound shift in your thinking that goes along with stopping the drugs?\u201cHalf say it\u2019s physical, and the other half say it\u2019s mental \u2014 and truth is that it is both,\u201d he said. WHAT COMES NEXTThe trial is winding down. The defense is debating whether to call more witnesses on Monday, including the president\u2019s brother James. After closing arguments, the case will go to the jury. But Hunter Biden\u2019s legal problems will not end there. He faces a separate trial in September in California on charges of failing to pay $1.4 million in taxes.A plea deal had been negotiated last summer that would have resolved both the gun and tax matters, avoiding the spectacle of a trial so close to the presidential election this November. But when U.S. District Court Judge Maryellen Noreika, who was nominated by former President Donald Trump, questioned aspects of the deal, the lawyers could not come to a resolution. The deal fell apart. Attorney General Merrick Garland then appointed the lead investigator, former U.S. Attorney David Weiss of Delaware, as a special counsel in August. A month later, Hunter Biden was indicted.Hunter Biden has argued he is being unfairly targeted by the Justice Department after Republicans decried the now-defunct plea deal as special treatment for the Democratic president\u2019s son.___Long and Superville reported from Washington.
