President Joe Biden’s son Hunter arrived at court on Monday for jury selection in a federal gun case against him after the collapse of a deal with prosecutors that would have avoided the spectacle of a trial so close to the 2024 election. First lady Jill Biden arrived shortly after, entering the courthouse in support of her son.

Joe Biden said that as president he wouldn’t comment on the criminal trial but as a dad he has “boundless love for my son, confidence in him, and respect for his strength.”
