Hunter Biden’s wife, Melissa Cohen-Biden, confronted former Trump White House aide Garrett Ziegler at the courthouse where her husband is facing gun charges.
During a brief break in the trial on Tuesday, Cohen-Biden reportedly approached Ziegler and called him a "Nazi piece of sh-t."
“I witnessed a dramatic moment a few minutes ago in the hallway outside courtroom: Hunter Biden’s wife Melissa Cohen-Biden approached former Trump aide Garett Ziegler and said ‘you have no right to be here you Nazi piece of s***!'” NBC’s Sarah Fitzpatrick, reporting live from the courthouse, posted on X.

Fitzpatrick continued, "Ziegler did not respond to her, but told me after that 'for the record I’m not a Nazi I’m a believer in the US constitution. I haven’t said one thing to them.'"

The reporter noted that Ziegler is involved in ongoing civil litigation with both Hunter Biden and Kevin Morris.
According to a report from NBC News, the president's son is suing Ziegler, alleging he "violated state and federal data laws in connection with the online publication of laptop content attributed to him."
"Although the precise manner by which Defendant Ziegler obtained Plaintiff’s data remains unclear, there is no dispute that Defendants have, to at least some extent, accessed, tampered with, manipulated, altered, copied and damaged Plaintiff’s data, and that their actions are illegal, unauthorized, and without Plaintiff’s consent," the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court for Central California states.
In her report for NBC on the courtroom antics, Fitzpatrick wrote, "Asked about the encounter, Cohen-Biden said Ziegler has called her 'the most horrific Jewish slurs,' adding that he should be asked why 'he's never called Jared Kushner any of those Jewish slurs,' referring Trump's son-in-law."
Ziegler denied Cohen-Biden's claims.
"Melissa’s statements to you are preposterous," Ziegler said. "I’ve never called her any slurs. It’s just made up.”
