Hunter Biden trial live: Jill Biden flies in from France to spend day in court after Hallie's devastating testimony

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

Prosecutors are expected to wrap up their case against Hunter Biden in his gun trial, after his ex Hallie Biden detailed how they used crack cocaine together.

The court was also shown surveillance footage of the moment she threw the gun at the center of the case in the trash can outside a Delaware grocery store.

President Joe Biden is meanwhile still in France for the 80th anniversary of D-Day, and apologized to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for Republicans holding up foreign aid.

Hunter Biden has been charged with three felonies:

1 - Lying to a federally licensed gun dealer.

2 - Making a false claim on an application by saying he was not a drug user.

3 - lllegally having the gun for 11 days.

He has pleaded not guilty.

He had hoped to resolve the gun case and another separate tax case in California with a plea deal last year.

The deal was the result of a years-long investigation into his business dealings.

The deal had him pleading guilty to lower-level charges that would have resolved both cases and spared him the spectacle of a trial so close to the 2024 election.

It fell apart after Judge Maryellen Noreika questioned unusual aspects of the proposed agreement and the lawyers could not resolve them.

Judge Noreika is now presiding over the trial.

The First Lady is making a whirlwind trip.

A new Fox News poll shows Joe Biden and Trump tied on 48 percent in the state of Virginia.

Biden won Virginia by 10 points in 2020.

Trump has tripled his support among black voters to 25 percent, according to the poll.

President Joe Biden on Friday apologized to Volodymyr Zelensky for the way hardline Republicans delayed a $61 billion package of funding for months earlier this year and promised that the U.S. would continue to stand with Ukraine in its time of need.

'We're still in ... completely, thoroughly,' Biden told his Ukrainian counterpart during their meeting at a Paris hotel.

Both leaders are in the French capital after Thursday's 80th anniversary of D-Day, which proved a chance to underline international alliances against totalitarianism.

Washington is Kyiv's biggest supplier of weapons and cash by far at a time when Ukraine faces an intensified Russian offensive in the east. But isolationist Republicans, urged on by former President Donald Trump, have at times hamstrung efforts to get funding bills through Congress.

'You continue to fight in a way that is just remarkable. It's remarkable. And we're not going to walk away from you,' said Biden.

Her salacious appearance on the witness stand at Donald Trump’s hush money trial stunned the world.

Now Stormy Daniels is getting ready to tell her full life story and her role in securing the first guilty verdict against a former U.S. president in history in an exclusive Daily Mail podcast.

The hit series looks into the lives of the world’s most famous faces, and Daniels will be the first to be featured in the U.S.

The first episode will be available on Tuesday June 11th.

Among the many revelations Stormy makes is a bombshell admission about why she believes Melania knows she is 'telling the truth' about her tryst with Trump in 2006.

Jill Biden is expected in court for Hunter Biden's trial in Delaware today after rushing back from D-Day anniversary events in France.

The first lady was with President Biden in France on Thursday before flying 3,600 miles to Delaware to attend court on Friday.

She will then head straight back across the Atlantic for a state dinner in France on Saturday.

Jill Biden attended the first few days of the trial ealrier this week, sitting behind Hunter and hugging him during intervals.

She has previoulsy described being in regular touch with him by text message.

The surveillance footage showing Hallie Biden throwing Hunter's gun in the rash was released by the court on Thursday.

The video shows Hallie outside Janssen's Market in Delaware on October 23, 2018, pulling up in her BMW.

The Colt Cobra Revolver had been placed in a small gift bag and was hidden on the back seat.

She is then seen walking to the store's exterior and throwing it in the trash.

Another clip shows her returning to the store and searching for the gun, and asking employees if the trash had been taken out.

Hallie told the court she was 'panicked' and didn't want Hunter to 'hurt himself'.

'I realize it was a stupid idea now, but I was panicking,' she told the court on Thursday.
