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...

👍👍
And why not. They've been allowed to run their criminal enterprise with impunity for decades.
There is nothing nefarious about this.
FJB was just there to sniff her hair.
Like Bill Clinton with A.G. Loretta Lynch, they talked about grandchildren and golf.
Hallie “dated” Hunter 🤔
One has to wonder how many times Joe bothered to visit her, on or near the anniversary over the last 9 years. In all likelihood, he didn't.
The Clintons got away with it.
Expect the prosecutor to say Hunter didn’t mean to break the law…
Nothing like witness intimidation out in the open.
“No,” he replied. “He visited her because of the approaching 9th anniversary of Beau’s passing.”
Has nothing to do with witness tampering. pedojoe just wanted to take a shower.
With her.
If she's good enough for Beau and then Hunter, then she's ten percent good enough for him.
New title for Resident Joe - Tamperer in Chief.
He made her an offer she couldn’t refuse.
Behind door number one there is a bar of gold and behind door number two there is a small bar of lead. Take your pick.
Put Joe on the stand.
Sadly, that is actually believable.
Reminds me of the scene from Godfather II where Tom Hagen visited Frankie Pentangeli and had a “conversation”. Frankie ended up dead in his bathtub the next day, so he couldn’t testify against Michael. (Not that that would happen here.)
It’s only witness tampering when we do it. It’s not witness tampering when they do it.
Witness tampering.
Classic witness intimidation.
Isn’t that a felony?
