Hunter's wife, Melissa, entered the Wilmington, Delaware courtroom with her husband on Monday morning, alongside first lady Jill Biden and sister Ashley Biden.
The trial stems from federal gun charges brought against him by special counsel David Weiss.
Hunter Biden pleaded not guilty to federal gun charges in U.S. District Court for Delaware after Weiss charged him with making a false statement in the purchase of a firearm; making a false statement related to information required to be kept by a licensed firearm dealer; and one count of possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance.
With all counts combined, the total maximum prison time for the charges could be up to 25 years. Each count carries a maximum fine of $250,000 and three years of supervised release.
