President Biden made a surprise nighttime visit to the Delaware home of Hallie Biden on Sunday — just before she’s due to serve as one of the most important witnesses at first son Hunter Biden’s federal trial for alleged gun crimes.
Biden stopped by Hallie’s home around 8 p.m. for a brief private talk eight days before the 54-year-old first son’s trial is scheduled to stand trial beginning June 3.
Hallie dated Hunter at the time of his alleged gun crimes and is one of a dozen expected witnesses.
Prosecutors allege Hunter lied about his drug use on gun purchase forms and then briefly illegally possessed at least one weapon — which Hallie disposed of in a public dumpster in 2018.
Although many commentators noted the awkward optics due to the looming trial, the visit came four days before the anniversary of Beau’s death.
White House spokesman Andrew Bates told The Post that the president didn’t discuss the trial with Hallie Biden during the visit.
“No,” he replied. “He visited her because of the approaching 9th anniversary of Beau’s passing.”
The first son faces the possibility of prison time in his first of two scheduled criminal trials.
Hunter is also set to stand trial in Los Angeles in September for allegedly failing to pay more than $1.4 million in federal taxes from 2016-2019.
The pair of criminal trials follow an alleged Justice Department coverup to shield the Biden family from liability for foreign business dealings in which Joe Biden played a recurring role.
Hunter agreed to a probation-only plea deal to the gun and tax crimes last June, but walked away from the “sweetheart” bargain at a July court hearing at which his attorneys demanded broad immunity of past conduct, including violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, which could...

Just like a good godfather would.
Nothing like a criminal and a witness getting an air tight story together before a trial
He gave her an offer she couldn’t refuse.
Oh yea, it just happens to be about the anniversary & not the trial. I’m sure Hallie is going to have some memory issues & sooner or later she’ll have a little extra cash in the bank.
yeah isn’t this called WITNESS TAMPERING or is that only if Trump did it
Tampering x 100, but the real question is why was this story released to the public? He could have visited on the QT, but he didn’t. He could have had her come to him. Nope. Was he sending a message to others? This is the Biden Crime family, after all.
Are these people pigs or what?
Ick!😝
Also, to make sure she knew who buttered her bread.
Message and script delivered. Here is what you will say..got it?
Democrats...if they’re talking, they’re lying.
well, you dint expect him to coerce her over a record-able device... now did you???
these thing are done mouth to ear.
Made her an offer she could not refuse?
Good this case has a judge who just may allow the prosecution to ask “ Did you have any conversation with Joe Biden about this case?”
Part of me thinks that the Bidens have dropped all attempts at subtlety.
Witness tampering? It's right out in the open.
Trump hasn't committed a crime, isn't really charged with a crime, but the jury will find him guilty? Oh, you know it.
Biden gets 100 million ballots in November? What? Who would dare to question it?
I think they want their continuing coup to be somewhat quiet but if they have to make it unmistakable, they'll go there without fear.
Witness tampering. Expect her to wake up with a horse’s head in her bed.
It’s called witness tampering. Maybe Hunter’s trial wasn’t discussed, only how much Joe thinks of Hallie. He then asks if she is doing well. Are your finances OK, dear? Anything I can do to help?
Not at a tarmac away from reporters?
But why hide it anyway. Biden is just showing off to let everyone know, “yeah, and you can’t do a thing about it, peasant.”
Little witness intimidating going on
Yeah
