Woman. now, the other significant information that came out from the cross examination is that hallie biden said she was going through rehabilitation treatment in early october, and that was part of why hunter biden came back to delaware, and he attended some of those sessions with hallie biden. there was a very tortured series of questions from lowell to biden, and she sometimes seemed nervous and was looking around the gallery, and i noticed her looking at her brand new husband, a man by the name of john anning, my colleague spoke with him. they just got married this past weekend, chris, and when sarah asked him about that, he said this is one heck of a way to spend the honeymoon. this is speaking to really the complicated emotional and family dynamics that are at play during this trial. yeah, complicated to say the least. hallie biden was in a romantic relationship with hunter biden in october of 2018, and that s when the gun was purchased. as you ve been following along with this trial, how important is that, and how important is
From the discussion itself. how i think that any person, if you re exhausting your remedies to appeal really should be able to do that outside of jail. why? because if you serve the sentence and an appellate court it says we re reversing. its irreparable harm. you ve already served. and so the argument of his lawyers will be listened. the appellate court ruled that what i was not successful, that certainly i was convicted during trial and that will stand, however, i can still now go to the dc circuit. they call it on bonk. that s, that s all of the justices and the dc circuit valuating that. and if not, perhaps as supreme court. so i think they do that is bannon s team have a very good argument to make that if the judge puts him in, which won t be today, they usually in federal court gives you a time to surrender the harm would be done. let s wait for all of this to be exhausted. so i think he has a very credible argument, but ultimately wealth, it depends upon the person wears the blank robe, and that s the judge so sarah, how soon based on what you re hearing, what you re reporting
