FBI agent questioned by Hunter's attorney about his financial transactions

Hunter's attorney is trying to establish that Hunter's large bank withdrawals could have gone to child support and other matters unrelated to drug purchases.

Abe Lowell asked the FBI agent Erika Jensen to comb through a $3.4 million statement from November 2018.

'You’re not suggesting that all that money was used to buy drugs?' Hunter's attorney asked.

Jensen replied: 'No.'

The agents went on to say that she did not know exactly where Hunter spent the money.

Lowell suggested it could have gone to Hunter's business, family and others.

Hunter Biden's ex-wife Kathleen Buhle expected to take the stand today

After FBI agent Erika Jensen is finished being cross-examined by the defense, Hunter Biden's ex-wife Kathleen Buhle is expected to take the stand.

Buhle was married to the president's son for 24 years and have three daughters together: Naomi (below), Finnegan and Maisy.

She has said she has forgiven Hunter for the thousands he spent feeding his addiction to crack cocaine, his infidelities and his lies.

Vice president Kamala Harris took a victory lap over Donald Trump during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Tuesday night, joking in reference to the shocking guilty verdict last week: 'Cheaters don't like getting caught.'

The former San Francisco DA deflected a light-hearted question from Kimmel about whether the people she watched the verdict with were 'pretending to not be happy' when the conviction was announced.

Last week, Trump was convicted on all counts related to a scheme during his 2016 presidential campaign to pay off porn actor Stormy Daniels, who said the pair had sex in 2006, something he has denied.

Biden, 81, is greeted by much younger French PM Gabriel Attal, 35, as he lands in Paris for D-Day anniversary

President Joe Biden arrived in France on Wednesday for a state visit that will include marking the 80th anniversary of D-Day at Normandy and a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

During his trip, Biden, 81, will push to deepen transatlantic ties as Russia steps up its attack on Ukraine and the Europe faces elections that could upset the current geopolitical order.

He will make what the White House is billing as a major speech, where he will warn about the threats to democracy and the rise of dictators.

'It's going to be action packed and, I think, extremely moving,' National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said, adding that it's an 'opportunity for him to say thank you directly to the veterans who saved democracy, saved the free world, and set the stage for the decades of peace and prosperity that followed.'

Trump makes stunning reversal in his election strategy that he believes will help him win the 2024 election

Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday officially got behind his supporters using mail-in ballots and voting early in the November election with the launch of an initiative dubbed 'Swamp the Vote USA.'

'Many Republicans like to vote on Election Day and we must swamp the radical Democrats with massive turnout on Tuesday, November 5,' Trump said.

More than 45 Republican and Democratic lawmakers and staffers offered insight on the subject, citing recent mistakes by the commander-in-chief they found concerning.

Aired in the midst of an election year, the report paints a picture of a president considerably slower than days' past, while the White House maintains the 81-year-old is still a top leader.

The dozens who spoke to The Wall Street Journal disagreed - describing a president who today speaks so softly that some struggle to even understand what he's saying.
