On Monday, a jury was selected for the highly anticipated trial of Hunter Biden, who is facing federal weapons charges.
Hunter Biden was seen at the J. Caleb Boggs federal courthouse in Wilmington, Delaware, as jury selection began on Monday morning.
Dr. Jill accompanied him, dressed in a purple suit, while Joe Biden was in a different part of Wilmington.
All this occurred shortly after Joe Biden reportedly had a private meeting with Hallie Biden, who is a key witness for the Department of Justice.
“Jill and I love our son and we are so proud of the man he is today,” Joe Biden said in a statement.
“Hunter’s resilience in the face of adversity and the strength he has brought to his recovery are inspiring to us,” Joe Biden added. “A lot of families have loved ones who have overcome addiction and know what we mean.”
The jury selection process occurred in Delaware, a state historically influenced by the Biden political machine.
Under the guidance of US District Judge Maryellen Noreika, appointed by Trump, the trial began with the selection of jurors.
Out of 250 Delaware residents initially called for jury duty, more than 60 were individually questioned by Hunter’s legal team, prosecutors, and Judge Noreika.
Ultimately, a jury consisting of six men and six women was chosen to preside over the case involving Hunter Biden’s alleged possession of firearms while reportedly struggling with crack cocaine addiction.
Notably, among the 12 panelists and four alternates, nine are African-American and all four alternates are women.
This diverse group will determine Hunter Biden’s fate in this high-stakes trial.
“The jurors were sworn in at 4:20 p.m. The final list of jurors: Jurors 3, 5, 16, 19, 20, 26, 31, 33, 34, 37, 38, 39. Alternates are: 50, 52, 53, 65. There are six men and six women on the jury. All four alternates are women. Potential jurors not selected are dismissed for the day,” according to NBC News.
One potential juror was excused for stating that owning a gun is a “God-given right,” while another was disqualified for believing that the Justice Department is excessively political.
A woman who voiced her opinion that individuals should not be allowed to purchase guns and harm children in schools was also removed from consideration.
She additionally stated that she would prohibit guns altogether if given the opportunity.
Juror 25, a man who asserted that Trump had been unfairly targeted for prosecution, initially made it into the group of 36 potential jurors after disclosing his acquaintance with First Lady Jill Biden and encounters with President Joe Biden at various events.
He also revealed his recent donation to the Republican National Committee and past experience as a campaign manager for a city councilman.
Despite this, he was later dismissed from consideration.

Hunter Biden, 54, has entered a plea of not guilty to three felony charges related to allegedly possessing a firearm unlawfully while struggling with crack cocaine addiction. The trial in Delaware marks the first of two legal proceedings scheduled for this year.
In addition to the Delaware case, Hunter Biden is also confronted with tax allegations in Los Angeles, where he is accused of evading $1.4 million in taxes from 2016 to 2019. US District Judge Mark Scarsi, appointed by former President Trump, has tentatively set the trial for the tax-related charges to commence on June 20.

Sounds like a case of Jury and Witness tampering. Pedo Joe should not speak to anyone involved in Hunter’s case. As for the Jury since President Trump had to put up with an All Democrap jury Hunter should face a few Conservative jurors. While Hunter should go to prison for this and his Income Tax evasion crimes Pedo Joe will pardon him. That is one thing that should be stopped. No sitting President should be able to pardon family or close friends.
Everybody knows that Hunter will not be charged for his crimes. 2 tier justice system.
I’m about a year older than useless Joe and have twin boys about two years older than the worthless pos Joe Biden sired. It’s painful to know people like Joe and his worthless son Hunter have duped the American people. The only explanation is dumb people follow a political party regardless of the quality and character of the candidate. Hopefully, the people will wake up and right the ship for the good of our grandchildren. Joe Biden is not worthy or qualified.
If most of the jurors are black, trying a Democrat personality is probably a waste of time.
