The First Lady was present at the trial each day of the week, with the exception of Thursday. In an interview from 2022, the First Lady referred to herself as Hunter's "mom" when discussing his legal issues.

"I mean, I have to support him and love him, and, you know, I’m constantly talking to him, sending him texts; ‘How you doing?’ Because it’s tough," she said, as per The New York Times.

The modified Boeing 747s, known as Air Force One, cost approximately $177,843 per hour to operate. Air Force Two, often utilized by the First Ladies, incurs costs of tens of thousands of dollars per hour.

On Friday, prosecutors concluded their case alleging Hunter Biden lied on a federal form to purchase a gun in October 2018 by claiming he was not a drug user.

The defense may summon at least one additional witness when the trial recommences on Monday, June 10, followed by closing arguments.

Hunter Biden has entered a plea of not guilty, and the President is not anticipated to be present at his son's trial.
