Hunter Biden's wife angrily rails against 'Nazi' Trump ally at husband's trial: report
Hunter Biden's wife confronted a former White House aide to Donald Trump outside the courtroom where the president's son is standing trial.
Melissa Cohen-Biden approached Garrett Ziegler, who worked on trade policy in the White House and was part of efforts to publicize the contents of a laptop to embarrass Joe Biden's son before the 2020 election.
During her confrontation, Cohen-Biden also called out his associations with white nationalist influencers, reported NBC News.
"You have no right to be here, you Nazi piece of s--t," Cohen-Biden said, pointing her finger at him and speaking in a loud voice.
Ziegler did not respond to her in the hallway, and Cohen-Biden later returned to the courtroom and took a seat next to first lady Jill Biden.
"It's sad, I've been sitting here the whole time and haven't approached anyone," Ziegler later told the network. "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."

Hunter Biden sued Ziegler and the company he founded, Marco Polo, in September, alleging that they broke state and federal law by trying to set up a searchable database of 128,000 of his emails.
Ziegler's company published a 644-page report analyzing the contents of Hunter Biden's laptop, which he claims to have gotten from Rudy Giuliani, and claims to have briefed GOP House staffers on his allegations that the president's son engaged in money laundering, violations of foreign lobbying laws and other misdeeds involving sex and drugs.
The former Trump staffer is best known for helping to usher Michael Flynn, Sidney Powell and ex-Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne into the White House White House for an infamously unhinged meeting in December 2020 where they reportedly urged the then-president to seize voting machines.
He has also promoted online posts by Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes and other right-wing extremists, saying that he enjoys sharing provocative material online.
“There are some things that I agree with Nick Fuentes on, and some that I don’t,” Ziegler said last year. "Sometimes you just do it because you think it’s a very, very good thing for the conversation.”
