Hunter Biden trial live: Wife calls Trump aide a 'Nazi piece of s***' as prosecutors introduce laptop

Thank you for tuning into DailyMail.com's daily politics blog.

There were multiple bombshell moments during Hunter Biden's federal gun trial as the jury was presented with evidence off his infamous laptop.

And on Capitol Hill - Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Chris Wray were grilled by Republicans while Marjorie Taylor Greene plotted her next move, causing a headache for Speaker Mike Johnson.

President Biden also signed an executive action on the border to stop migrant crossings.

Here's what you missed today:

• Melissa Cohen flies into a rage at Trump aide outside husband Hunter Biden's trial: 'Nazi piece of s***'
• AG Merrick Garland rips Trump's 'dangerous' lie the FBI wanted to assassinate him and clarifies agents were also authorized to use force when raiding Biden's home
• REVEALED: Americans are warned a terror attack is likely after 'enormous' surge in threats and sinister plots nationwide being thwarted
• Marjorie Taylor Greene threatens to force an impeachment vote for Joe Biden over his mishandling of the southern border
• Biden blames Trump for the border crisis as he announces first crackdown in three years... and reveals migrants can still get into the U.S. if they use an APP

The courtroom hallway at Hunter Biden's federal gun trial erupted in chaos on Tuesday when his wife Melissa Cohen flew into a rage at a former Donald Trump White House aide.

Cohen approached Garrett Ziegler and called him a 'Nazi piece of s***' who had no right watching the case.

Ziegler did not respond to Cohen, as she carried on walking into the courtroom to take her seat next to First Lady Jill Biden.

A senior GOP senator ripped Joe Biden as untrustworthy after he repeatedly peddled a strange story about his uncle getting consumed by cannibals in South East Asia.

The tall tale, which the president has told repeatedly, has been directly refuted by a Pentagon report.

Biden claims his uncle, Ambrose Finnegan - known to the family as 'Uncle Bosie' - was in a plane that was shot down over Papa New Guinea during his service in WWII - and that his dear relative was later eaten by local cannibals.

And at the conclusion of a Republican press event bashing Biden's new asylum executive order, Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, got caught on a hot mic poking fun of Biden's strange cannibal story.

She told Senator John Kennedy: 'Bottom line, never trust a man whose uncle was eaten by cannibals.'

Hunter Biden's gun trial was shown his infamous laptop and saw photos, videos and text messages from when he was in the depths of his addiction to crack cocaine during a dramatic day in court.

Melissa Cohen, the wife of the president's son, shook her head as Prosecutor Derek Hines took the Macbook Pro 13 from a plastic sleeve, walked it across the courtroom and held it up to the jury.

The revelation came on a second day of the trial that heard Hunter 'smoked crack every 15 minutes' and went into details into his life of 'debauchery'.

Hines' first witness FBI agent Erika Jensen confirmed it belonged to Hunter in an admission that flew in the face of many who tried to discredit its contents as Russian disinformation.

He then showed the court evidence taken from the 'Laptop from Hell' - including pictures of text messages where Hunter refers to himself as an ‘addict’ and his conversations with suspected drug dealers.

In Abe Lowell’s cross-examination of Agent Jensen, he asked her to admit that Hunter’s memoir was written after the fact and was ‘not a contemporaneous diary’.

He also pointed out evidence that Hunter’s drug use was not as severe or regular as in dark periods earlier in 2018 when he lived in LA and took crack every 15 minutes.

Unlike then, Lowell asked Jensen to confirm to the jury, in the fall of 2018 Hunter was able to catch a plane, see his family, and sleep more than 10 hours a week.

Lowell also appeared to score a point against the prosecution when he asked Jensen if Hunter’s heavy cash withdrawals were linked to his rehab payments.

‘Did you match up those withdrawals to these invoices?’ he asked. ‘No,’ Jensen replied. 

The Hunter Biden gun trial jury was shown a string of text messages with him appearing to discuss his drug deals and addiction.

The court also saw videos of the president's son weighing crack on scales and shirtless while holding a pipe.

On November 27 2018 he wrote to one suspected dealer that he wanted an ‘ounce’, and the dealer told him it was ‘gonna be 1450’. ‘Its 17g pure give him 1100. You'll be happy,’ the contact wrote to Hunter.

On December 18 2018 he told Hallie’s sister Liz Secundy in a text message that he was ‘insane and an addict’.

A video Hunter sent Secundy showed him topless, holding what appeared to be a crack pipe.

Secundy asked him to admit he was ‘in the throes of addiction’, and he replied ‘I admit it completely’, but added ‘I’ll f**king get sober when I want to get f**king sober.’

The prosecution showed a second video of Hunter weighing what appear to be crack rocks on a scale, and a photo of Hunter’s hand holding a crack pipe dated January 14 2019. '

They also showed a bong in the background of one January 31 2019 photo.

When Tennessee GOP Rep. John Rose's son Guy went viral on social media on Monday, many remarked how cute his 'grandson' was.

Little did they know that the silly six-year-old making faces behind the congressman's floor speech was 59-year-old Rose's son by his wife who is 25 years his junior.

Rose and wife Chelsea seemingly met when she was in high school and he was 42 and they crossed paths at a farming convention. She was of legal age when they married four years later.

The court was dismissed just after 4:26 p.m. ET on Tuesday.

The defense had just begun their cross-examination of the FBI agent.

Pictures of a shirtless Hunter Biden smoking crack cocaine (taken from his phone) were shown to the jury by the prosecution before the defense team took over.

The prosecution used Hunter's text messages as they sought to prove he was using crack around the time he bought the gun.

In a message to Hallie Biden on October 13, 2018 - the day after the gun purchase - he told Hallie he was 'waiting for a dealer named Mookie,' prosecutor Derek Hines said.

A day later Hunter sent a message to Hallie Biden saying he had been asleep on a car while smoking crack.

The jury was also shown a video from December 2018 in which Hunter was shirtless and holding a pipe.

FBI agent Erika Jensen, in the witness box, confirmed it was a crack pipe.

Messages between Hunter and Hallie Biden on the day she discovered the gun in his truck - October 23, 2018 - were also read out.

Hunter wrote: 'Did you take that from me...are you insane?' and added 'this is very serious.'

Hallie texted back: 'Call me!!!!'

The threat of a terrorist attack within the U.S. has risen 'enormously' in the past months warn top law enforcement officials.

Attorney General Merrick Garland made the astonishing admission while testifying before the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday during a hearing dedicated to investigating the department's politicization.

'I am worried about the possibility of a terrorist attack in the country after October 7,' Attorney General Garland said. 'The threat level for us has gone up enormously.'

FBI Director Christopher Wray, speaking to a different committee on the other side of Capitol Hill in the Senate, agreed, saying 'we have seen the threat from foreign terrorists rise to a whole other level' after the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack.

From DailyMail.com's Nick Allen in Delaware court:

The jury was shown some of Hunter’s bank records.

One bank account had deposits of around $3.4 million during 2018 and he spent ‘roughly’ the same amount during that time, prosecutor Derek Hines said.

In a three-month period from September to November 2018 he made cash withdrawals of $151,640 from the account.

On October 12, 2018 - the day he bought the gun - he withdrew $5,000 in cash.

Prosecutors showed the jury the receipt for the gun, which cost $749.95.

The receipt showed he also bought an HKS Speed Loader, Hornady ammunition, a BB gun, and a Nebo True Utility Fishface Loader multi-tool.

The total bill was $886.81 and he paid $900 in cash, receiving $13.19 in change.

Hines asked the witness, FBI special agent Erika Jensen whether Hunter had been making '$50,000 a moon in cash withdrawals' toward the end of 2018, and she confirmed he had.

First Lady Jill Biden was not in court at the start of the afternoon session.

She is due back at White House for the congressional picnic tonight.

Trump Campaign Senior Advisor Jason Miller furiously tore into President Joe Biden’s executive order putting limitations on the number of asylum seekers who can cross the southern border.

'Joe Biden is issuing an executive order that will allow illegal aliens to press a button on a phone to get admitted into the country full stop. Do you hear how insane that sounds?' the Trump advisor questioned.

Biden announced on Tuesday an executive order that will shut down the southern border from asylum seekers whenever there is a surge of 2,500 crossings per day. But 1.75 million migrants will still be permitted to come into the country every year through an app that allows entry at legal ports.

Miller also denounced the order as ineffective because it does not get rid of the millions of undocumented migrants released and living in the U.S.

'There's 15 million illegal aliens that the criminal in the White House, Joe Biden, has resettled into our country – 15 million,' Miller said on the call. 'He wants them all to stay here for life. How many of them are getting deported under this executive order? Zero.'

'This man is a criminal. And this man is a monster,' he concluded.

From DailyMail.com's Nick Allen in Delaware court:

Hunter Biden’s laptop was introduced as evidence in the case and it was confirmed to be his.

FBI special agent Erika Jensen was asked by the prosecutor: ‘Were they (the FBI) able to confirm it was Hunter Biden’s?’

She replied: ‘Yes.’

Jensen said the FBI had received a tip about the computer and it was recovered from the Mac Shop in Wilmington.

The laptop was contained in a clear plastic sleeve and was held up by prosecutor Derek Hines.

He told the jury: ‘This is the laptop recovered from the laptop store.’

He then handed it to Jensen in the witness box.

Jensen said there was a serial number on the back of the laptop that matched Apple records.

The FBI 'matched the registration of this device to the iCloud account at a particular time,' she said.

The FBI then ‘used forensic tools to extract data from the laptop.’

That includes from WhatsApp, iMessage and text messages.

She said: 'They found evidence of addiction within those messages.'

Donald Trump accused Joe Biden of ‘surrendering’ at the southern border in a video slamming the president’s plans to finally address the crisis.

In a three-minute video posted to Truth Social on Tuesday, the former president said Biden is ‘pretending’ to take action after polls revealed the border crisis remains a top issue for voters ahead of November’s presidential election.

It comes as Biden announced on Tuesday an executive order that will shut down the southern border from asylum seekers whenever there is a surge in crossings.

“Millions of people have poured into our Country—and now, after nearly four years of his failed, weak leadership, Crooked Joe Biden is pretending to finally do something about the border—but in fact, it’s all for show because he knows we have a debate coming up in 3 weeks,” Trump said in his video.

He also claimed countries are sending their prisoners, drug dealers, human traffickers and terrorists to illegally enter the U.S.

Trump and Biden are set for the first show-down of 2024 with a debate hosted by CNN in Atlanta, Georgia on June 27.

National Guard members stand under shade while on patrol near the banks of the Rio Grande river in Eagle Pass, Texas, hours before Biden signs executive orders to restrict asylum claims.

A new executive order that President Joe Biden signed Tuesday would cap asylum claims at the southern border, in an election year move to take on Republican critics who claim claim he stands for open borders.

The order, which Biden will announce at an afternoon press conference that appeared late on his daily schedule, comes after years of congressional inaction on bipartisan immigration measures, which Biden also failed to enact.

Even some congressional Democrats are claiming the policy will either be ineffective or could get struck down by the courts as beyond the president's executive authority.

AG Garland was asked about his relationship with Hunter by Rep. Ben Cline, R-Va., during a testy House Judiciary Committee hearing on DOJ 'weaponization' Tuesday.

Hunter chmoozed with celebrities and the Washington elite at the White House state dinner with Kenya's president held last month.

AG Garland was also in attendance at the event.

'I have never spoken to Hunter Biden in my life as far as I know,' Garland insisted at the hearing.

The first son did not walk the red carpet with other guests attending the dinner, leaving wife Melissa Cohen to pose for pictures solo, in her white structured Safiyaa gown.

The jury is listening to excerpts of Hunter's memoir 'Beautiful Things' via audiobook.

Those excerpts include Hunter's passafe in which he details 'walking into a high crime neighborhood and buying crack was like playing Russian roulette.'

He also talks about his 'superpower' of purchasing crack in town.

Congressional Democrats are triggered by Joe Biden's planned executive order to alter asylum claims for migrants who enter U.S. illegally, with some saying it won't work.

President Joe Biden is expected to announce Tuesday a new executive action to limit the number of illegal migrants who can claim asylum once a threshold of unlawful crossers has been reached.

The White House and some lawmakers have said it would help him 'shut down the border,' but that is far from true critics say.

The order will enable the president to revoke illegal immigrants' ability to claim asylum, which generally kicks-off a years-long court process.

Now, even Democrats are admitting that the expected plan to crack down on illegal immigration, months before an election, has major flaws.

President Joe Biden mixed up the two powerful world leaders who are central to his foreign policy in a new Time Magazine interview.

The article, titled '"We Are the World Power." How Joe Biden Leads,' is intended to convey how Biden is the keeper of a post World War II alliance of democracies intent on confronting tyrants and maintaining an international framework.

But during one notable moment, Time's editors felt the need to correct the transcript of Biden's interview,' noting the mishap.

Attorney General Merrick Garland repeatedly said he did not 'dispatch' former Justice Department senior official Matthew Colangelo to the Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office ahead of the prosecution of former President Donald Trump.

House Republicans on Tuesday grilled Garland during a hearing about the unusual decision of Coalanelo to leave his high-ranking Justice Department position and take a prosecutor job with Bragg's office.

Garland emphatically denied the allegation that he had anything to do with it.

'That is false, I did not dispatch Mathew Coangelo,' he said. 'That is false. False.'

Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz asked Garland how and why Colangelo left Garland's Justice Department to take a lower-level job in Bragg's office in New York in December 2022.

'I assume he applied for a job there and got the job,' Garland replied. 'I can tell you I had nothing to do with it.'

The prosecution gave the full list of witnesses it will call:

• Hallie Biden
• Hunter’s ex-wife Kathleen Buhle
• Gordon Cleveland, the gun store employee who was there when Hunter is alleged to have lied on a purchase form
• Forensic chemist Dr. Jason Brewer
• Zoe Kestan, who says she was romantically involved with Hunter. The jury heard she will testify about Hunter's use of crack

Hallie Biden will testify about her own use of crack and it will be ‘embarrassing,’ the jury heard.

Hines said: 'Hallie will testify about her own crack use.'

She will do so under an immunity agreement, jurors were told.

They have already heard that Hallie was introduced to crack by Hunter and that they had a romantic relationship.

Hallie was clean by the time Hunter purchased the gun and is clean today, the court heard.

James Biden is a witness for the defense. He is close with Hunter and is expected to be a character witness for the First Son.

Hines told the jury: ‘No one is above the law.

‘That law makes no distinction beteeen Hunter Biden and anybody else.

‘The defense lied when he claimed on that form he was not a drug user or a drug addict.

‘No one is allowed to lie on a federal form like that. Not even Hunter Biden.’

Hines said Hunter was ‘addicted to crack before, during and after his purchase of the gun.’

The prosecutor told jurors Hunter had described obtaining crack as his ‘superpower’ and had been 'smoking every 15 minutes, seven days a week.’

He said a woman he was in a romantic relationship with - a different woman to Hallie Biden - would testify that he was using crack 'except when he slept.'

Hines went on to quote to the jury passages from Hunter’s memoir 'Beautiful Things’ in which he detailed his drug use.

President Joe Biden, 81, says he wishes he took earlier action to reverse Donald Trump's border policies.

In a defensive and, at times, combative interview with Time Magazine, the president insisted his age is not a problem going into the 2024 election even though he would be 86 at the end of a second term.

While Biden is expected to issue an executive order this week to shut down the border once crossings reach 4,000 per day, he still claims his previous actions on illegal immigration have not exacerbated the ongoing crisis.

Besides inflation and the economy, immigration often tops the list of biggests issues for Americans ahead of November's presidential election. But Biden faces another uphill battle – his age.

Polls in recent months continue to portray that voters think the current president is too old or mentally and physically unfit for another four years in office. If elected for a second term, Biden would beat his own record set three-and-a-half-years ago by being the oldest president ever elected to office.

From DailyMail.com's Nick Allen in Delaware court:

Hallie Biden threw Hunter's gun in a trash can at Janssen's Market in Wilmington, the jury was told.

Hines said: 'The defendant was angry and told her to go back to get it but by a stroke of good fortune it was gone.'

It had been picked out of the trash by a man collecting recyclables.

The jury was told they would hear from the man who found the gun as a witness later in the trial.

From DailyMail.com's Nick Allen in Delaware court:

Prosecutor Hines showed the jury messages sent by Hunter.

One said: ‘I was sleeping on a car smoking crack on 4th St and Rodney.’

In another he said he was ‘waiting for a dealer.’

Hines said: ‘The defendant introduced Hallie to crack and she became a user too.’

He said Hallie was clean by the time of the gun incident and ‘remains clean today.'

Hines said: ‘Hallie found the gun and his drug paraphernalia stored in his truck.

‘Concerned about the gun she decided to get rid of it. She put the gun, speed loader and ammunition in a gift bag.’

She then ‘panicked’ and ‘threw all those items in a trash can,’ the prosecutor said.

The messages Hines showed the jury also included one to a dealer which said: ‘Can you get baby powder? The really soft stuff.’

Hines 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.

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.’

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'

Biden's Attorney General Merrick Garland is clapping back at Republicans who held him in contempt of Congress during opening remarks.

Garland opened by saying he 'will not be intimidated' despite the contempt push, and insisted he will 'not back down.'

He also says claims that DOJ is in 'cahoots' with Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, who secured a Trump conviction, are a 'conspiracy theory.'

He adds that it comes 'at a time when we are seeing heinous threats' to DOJ career officials and he views the 'attacks' as a very serious matter.

Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., fired back at Garland, saying his 'conspiracy theory' remarks are out of line.

He brought up AG Garland's former aide Matthew Colangelo - who left DOJ for the Manhattan's DA office to prosecute Trump.

'I did not dispatch Mr. Colangelo anywhere,' Garland fired back.

Hunter Biden bought a revolver and 'full metal jacket' bullets while addicted to crack cocaine and living a life of 'non-stop debauchery,' a court heard.

At the opening of his trial on gun and drug charges in Wilmington, Delaware prosecutors said Biden was 'smoking crack every 15 minutes' when he purchased the gun on October 12, 2018.

Jill Biden sat in the front row of the public benches with Hunter's half-sister Ashley Biden and his wife Melissa Cohen.

Biden has pled 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.

Meanwhile on Capitol Hill...Attorney General Merrick Garland will take the hot seat during a House Judiciary Committee hearing.

He's expected to face a grilling over the Trump conviction and refusing to release audio from President Biden's special counsel interview.

It's the top Justice Department official's first time facing lawmakers since a jury found Donald Trump guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records over hush money payments to Stormy Daniels on Thursday.

And it comes just as Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan proposed 'defunding' all of the prosecutions against Donald Trump in what would be an unprecedented move.

A juror has dropped out of the Hunter Biden trial because she lives an hour away.

Juror 16, selected in seat three, also told the court she's unemployed and can't afford to make the daily trip.

'We lost a juror,' said Judge Maryellen Noreika upon entering the courtroom Tuesday.

She explained that the juror lived in Milford, Delaware, about an hour away from court.

Jordan submitted a legislative proposal to the Appropriations Committee that would ban any funds from being used to prosecute a former or current vice president or president.

Connections to the Biden family and experience with drug addiction were common themes among prospective jurors in the Hunter Biden trial.

A panel of seven men and five women was picked on Monday night and sworn in.

Most admitted they knew the Biden and family; one said Jill Biden was an 'acquaintance'.

A former Secret Service employee ended up on the jury that will hear opening statements on Tuesday.

Joe Biden left his son Hunter a voicemail urging him to 'get some help', three days after the president's son lied about his drug addiction on a federal form to buy a gun – the offense at the center of his Delaware criminal trial.

The audio clip of the voice message, obtained by DailyMail.com from Hunter's abandoned laptop, suggests that even the president knew his son was an addict in October 2018.

Jury selection began Monday for the trial, in which Hunter is charged with lying about his sobriety on a Firearms Transaction Record in order to purchase a handgun - a federal offense.

Prosecutors will argue that the First son committed three felonies by falsely stating on a form that he was not an drug addict in order to buy a Colt Cobra .38 handgun on October 12, 2018.

Read the full story here:

Hunter Biden has arrived at the Delaware court for opening statements in his federal gun trial.

He walked into the building hand-in-hand with his wife Melissa Cohen and was followed by stepmother Jill and half-sister Ashley.

President Joe Biden says he wishes he ended Donald Trump’s border policies even sooner – despite implementing much of his reversals on Day One.

Speaking with Time Magazine, Biden insisted that implementing humanitarian policies for illegal immigrants did not exacerbate the migrant crisis at the southern border.

He stood by his decision to reverse Trump’s restrictive border policies and says he only wishes he did it sooner – even as the president prepares to issue an executive order this week to shut down the border once it reaches 4,000 crossing per day.

“If I was wrong, it’s because I took too long,” the president told Time.

Since taking office in January 2021, nearly 8 million illegal immigrants crossed the southern border and recent estimates put the number of undocumented migrants living in the U.S. above 20 million.

Biden says he is not examining reinstating Trump's so-called Remain in Mexico program.

Senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri said on Tuesday the Palestinian militant group frowns upon Washington and the West's calls for it to accept President Joe Biden's proposal on Gaza 'as if it is Hamas who is hampering the deal.'

In comments reported by Hamas media, Abu Zuhri said Israel is not serious about reaching a deal in Gaza and is still maneuvering under the U.S.' cover.

Reporting from Reuters

Joe Biden slapped back at concerns he won't be an effective president when he is 85.

In a wide-ranging interview with TIME Magazine, the 81-year-old Biden was asked about many Americans who already think he is too old.

'I can do it better than anybody you know.  You’re looking at me, I can take you too, he told the reporter.

When asked if he didn't consider running because of his age, he flatly said: 'No'.

DailyMail.com breaks down all the evidence federal prosecutors will use against the president's son as opening statements begin.

Hunter is also facing federal tax charges in Los Angeles and is set for trial in that case in September - just weeks before the presidential election.

As Hunter Biden's historic gun case kicked off in Wilmington, Delaware Monday, all eyes will be on the Trump-appointed judge handling the case: Judge Maryellen Noreika.

Politico reported Sunday that just last month, Noreika doubled the recommended sentence of a defendant who pleaded guilty to a similar gun crime.

On May 2, Noreika found that defendant Zhi Dong should go to prison for a year - not the six months suggested by prosecutors.

Dong was accused of lying on government forms about his address when he bought guns in Delaware.

He purchased 19 pistols and 10 lower receivers in Delaware using a Newark, Delaware address and a Delaware driver's license at several federal firearms licensees in the state.

After nearly eight million apprehensions at the southern border since taking office, President Joe Biden is finally prepared to execute an executive action this week that would address illegal immigration.

But with just five months until the 2024 presidential election, House Speaker Mike Johnson says it's 'too little, too late' and Republicans have called the move an election 'stunt'.

He also claims that despite plans for just one executive order hat could shut down the border, Biden and DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas have already enacted 64 other actions since January 2021 'to open the border.'

llegal immigration and the crisis at the southern border remains a top issue for voters going into November – and Biden is looking to finally act after years of pressure to enact a crackdown.

Some estimates put the number of illegal immigrants living in the United States at more than 20 million. And the number of gotaways continue to elude even top immigration officials.

President Joe Biden broke cover after the first day of son Hunter Biden's gun trial to raise money for his reelection bid at a glitzy Greenwich, Connecticut home.

After spending the day in Wilmington, Delaware with nothing on his schedule, the president addressed high-dollar donors Monday night at the home of former HBO boss Richard Plepler.

He warned of the 'uncharted territory' the campaign entered into after former President Donald Trump became a felon - and raised a jaw-dropping $141 million in May.

'This guy does not deserve to be president whether or not I'm running,' the 81-year-old presumptive Democratic nominee said.

Biden noted that 'for the first time in American history a former president that is a convicted felon is now seeking the office of the presidency.'

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

Hunter Biden will return to federal court in Delaware this morning for opening statements in his gun trial.

Attorney General Merrick Garland will appear in Congress to defend his handling of the Special Counsel report into Biden's handling of classified documents.

The president will also sign an executive action on the border later on Tuesday to crack down on migrant crossings in a move branded an election 'stunt' by his critics.
