it is good to be back with you, on this second hour of chris jansing reports. at this hour, breaking news. the jury in hunter biden s trial was just dismissed for the weekend after emotional testimony from hunter s daughter. what we know as our team on the ground tries to get answers. and the chilling new video of the moments before a woman unleashed hell on a mother and her 3-year-old toddler. the new details of what led up to that horrific attack. also, donald trump s latest target, well, in his words, the unselect members of the january 6th committee, why the former president is now calling for them to be indicted. plus, boos and the walkout, the negative greeting from some lawmakers in the pennsylvania state house when officers who defended the capitol during the insurrection walked in. our nbc news reporters are following all of the latest developments, but we begin with nbc s ken dilanian who s outside the courthouse in wilmington where the hunter biden jury was
courthouse today. hunter biden s attorney, abbe lowell told the judge they decided not to cause him after all, nor any forensic effort and they re going to wait to decide on monday whether to call a final witness, which we understand to be hunter biden. the trial will resume at 8:15 on monday. it s not clear what prompted this change of strategy, but i will say that the consensus of our team here at nbc news is that the naomi biden testimony, the testimony of hunter biden s oldest daughter did not go well on balance, for the defense. she did humanize hunter biden, she teared up and told the jury she thought he was doing well in terms of his drug addiction during the period where he owned the gun. on cross-examination, prosecutors confronted her with some very disturbing text messages and evidence that he was in communication potentially with drug dealers and we can presume that they would do the same thing with james biden.
