As Hunter Biden's defense case gets underway, two more members of the Biden family have entered the courthouse: Naomi Biden and James Biden.

Naomi Biden is the daughter of Hunter Biden and granddaughter of President Joe Biden.

James Biden is Hunter Biden's uncle and President Biden's brother, who Hunter's attorney told the jury during opening statements paid for some of Hunter Biden's rehab and lived with him briefly afterward.

Defense attorney Abbe Lowell previously suggested both James Biden and and Naomi Biden could take the stand for the defense.

After jurors left the courtroom for a break, defense attorney Abbe Lowell moved for an acquittal for by orally submitting a Rule 29 motion, citing constitutional challenges and an insufficiency of evidence.

Judge Maryellen Noreika indicated her skepticism at the longshot bid with a chortle as Lowell described the legal underpinnings of his motion.

"You're laughing," Lowell said, before joking that her "smile" suggested she was "likely skeptical."

Both Lowell and the judge agreed that one of his claims in particular was an "interesting concept."

Lowell then told the court that the first two witnesses he plans to call for the defense are Ronald Palimere, the owner of the gun shop where Hunter Biden purchased the Colt revolver at the center of the case, and Jason Turner, an employee of the store.

Prosecutors have rested their case against President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden.

The defense is scheduled to present its case next.

Defense attorneys have said they could possibly wrap up their case by Monday, in which case jurors could begin deliberations as soon as Tuesday or Wednesday.

DEA special agent Joshua Romig took the stand to testify as an expert in the "coded language" used in drug trafficking.

He analyzed the language used in some of Hunter Biden's text messages, some of which appeared to be drug transactions.

First lady Jill Biden, back in the courtroom this morning, looked on as Romig testified.

Special counsel David Weiss, who brought the case against Hunter Biden, is also in court today.

The day's final witness was Ed Banner, the 80-year-old Navy veteran who recovered Hunter Biden's firearm from the trash receptacle outside a supermarket after Hunter Biden's then-girlfriend Hallie Biden had disposed of it there.

Banner described finding the firearm and other items as he was rummaging for recyclables that he would often drive to New York to return for money.

Defense attorney Abbe Lowell had previously suggested that cocaine residue discovered on a leather pouch that held the gun could have been tampered with between the time the firearm was discarded on Oct. 23, 2018, and when it was tested in a lab in late 2023.

"This may sound like an unusual question, but does anyone in your household use cocaine?" Derek Hines asked Banner.

"No," Banner said, appearing somewhat surprised by the question.

Banner also denied wrapping the firearm in a sock, as a Delaware state trooper suggested in earlier testimony.

"I don't know nothin' about no sock," Banner said.

Prosecutors said before court concluded that they have two witnesses left -- a DEA drug specialist and an FBI chemist -- and that they intend to rest their case on Friday morning.

Defense counsel said they would call two or three witnesses and would likely rest their case by the end of the day on Monday.

As Lowell previously suggested, he may call James Biden, the president's brother, and Naomi Biden, the president's eldest granddaughter.

He also said that no decision has yet been made on whether Hunter Biden will testify in his own defense.

Court then was recessed for the day.
