WILMINGTON, Delaware — Melissa Cohen, the wife of Hunter Biden,  lashed out Tuesday at a former aide to President Trump, calling him a “Nazi piece of s—“ during a break in her husband’s federal criminal trial on gun charges.  

Ms. Cohen walked up to Garrett Ziegler, who runs a conservative nonprofit organization, and told him, “You have no right to be here, you Nazi piece of s—,” according to an NBC News report.

Mr. Ziegler didn’t respond to the emotional outburst in the Wilmington, Delaware courthouse. He confirmed the incident to NBC News.

“It’s sad. I’ve been sitting here the whole time and haven’t approached anyone,” he told the outlet. “For the record, I’m not a Nazi, I’m a believer in the U.S. Constitution. I haven’t said one thing to them.” 

Hunter Biden sued Mr. Ziegler in California last year, accusing him of violating computer data laws and fraud by accessing “tens of thousands of emails, thousands of photos, and dozens of videos and recordings” that belong to him. 

Hunter Biden has also accused Mr. Ziegler of manipulating the computer data, which included financial and bank records.
