Prosecutors allege that Biden lied on a background check form that he was not a user of illegal drugs and intend to use excerpts from his memoir and witness testimony to detail his crack cocaine and alcohol addictions during that time.

Around 250 Delaware residents have been called up for jury duty in this case, who will all be asked questions regarding their impartiality, views on the Biden family, and whether they feel there is political motivation behind the case.

First Lady Jill Biden attended court with her son, while Pres. Biden is in Connecticut for a fundraising event. Pres. Biden has expressed his "love and support" as the trial began.
