Hunter Biden and his wife Melissa Cohen Biden arrived at the federal courthouse in Wilmington, Delaware, on Tuesday ahead of the opening statements in his federal criminal gun trial.
Hunter and Melissa held hands as they entered the courthouse on Tuesday.
At one point, Melissa snapped at Garrett Ziegler, a former aide to President Trump, who faced legal trouble last year after Hunter sued him for distributing the contents of his “Laptop from Hell.”
The lawsuit accuses Ziegler of violating California and federal computer privacy laws by posting content from Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop on the website of his nonprofit, Marco Polo.
Melissa confronted Ziegler in the courthouse hallway, pointing her finger at him and yelling, “You have no right to be here, you Nazi piece of sh*t!” After having her melt down, she walked away, returning later to the courtroom to resume her seat next to Jill Biden. Throughout the encounter, Ziegler remained silent and did not respond.
Such Class. 🤣🙄

Ziegler addressed the incident, first reported by NBC News, expressing disappointment over the confrontation. “It’s sad I’ve been sitting here the whole time and haven’t approached anyone,” Ziegler defended himself to the outlet, stating, “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.”
NBC News reported:
There was a dramatic scene in the hallway during the brief morning break, when Hunter Biden’s wife, Melissa Cohen-Biden, approached former Trump White House aide Garrett Ziegler as he was about to walk to the courtroom. Hunter Biden sued Ziegler over an online database of emails attributed to the president’s son.
She got close to him and said in a loud emotional voice and gestured toward him, pointing her finger at him: “You have no right to be here, you Nazi piece of s—” and then walked away.
Ziegler did not respond. He entered the courtroom and confirmed what was said, telling NBC News, “That’s what I heard.” When asked for comment, he said, “It’s sad I’ve been sitting here the whole time and haven’t approached anyone.”
When asked if he had any response to the incident, Ziegler told NBC News: “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.”
When asked why he was attending the trial, Ziegler said, “It’s prudent for me to be here.” When asked for comment on the ongoing civil litigation he is involved in with Hunter Biden and Kevin Morris, Ziegler told NBC News that the suits are “completely frivolous and Hunter should focus on paying his attorneys.”
