About this episode
Hunter Biden’s trial over an unlawful gun purchase is underway in Wilmington, Delaware. The jury (and four alternates) was assembled quickly, and the president’s son is already facing the heat. POLITICO Magazine opinion columnist and former federal prosecutor Ankush Khardori was in the courthouse Tuesday. He tells Playbook co-author Eugene Daniels that the scene has already been defined by the government’s key witness: Hunter’s own words from his memoir. Plus, Democrats are butting heads over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's forthcoming visit to Washington, even though it doesn't have a set date yet. All that, and the rest of the news you need to know today.
