When Hunter's illegal gun possession case was tried, many relatives of the family showed up in court to show their support, including stepmother Jill, who was celebrating her 73rd birthday, half-sister Ashley Biden, and Kevin Morris, a famous Hollywood lawyer who is familiar with the Biden family. Hunter was accompanied by his wife Melissa Cohen to court on the 4th, and many relatives and friends also arrived one after another. Jill wore a purple suit jacket and sat in the first row of the audience with her daughter Ashley and granddaughter Naomi Biden's husband Neil (Peter Neal). While waiting for the court to start, Hunter wished Jill a happy birthday and joked that he had arranged a "special event" for her. As seen by reporters on the scene, Jill did not show much expression during the trial, while Ashley was always focused, occasionally leaning forward and taking notes with pencils and notebooks. When the judge announced a break, Jill and Ashley stood up and hugged Hunter, kissed and stroked his cheeks to cheer him up, and their care was beyond words. During the jury selection, Hunter, who is 54 years old, wore reading glasses, listened seriously and took notes from time to time, and often whispered with his lawyer Abbe Lowell. Lowell once put his hand on Hunter's shoulder and hugged him to show his support. When the court announced a lunch break, Hunter jumped up from his seat like a student hearing the school bell, smiled and fist-bumped and hugged his relatives and friends one by one. Ricky Smith, a family friend in the court, said that Hunter should not be prosecuted for drug use. On the weekend before the trial of this case, President Biden accompanied Hunter to spend time with his family. The father and son vacationed together in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware on the afternoon of the 1st, during which they rode bicycles and participated in church worship.
