Hunter Biden’s T-shirt-clad lawyers Abbe Lowell and Kevin Morris were evacuated from their luxury Wilmington, Del., hotel Wednesday night after a fire alarm went off hours after proceedings in the first son’s federal gun trial wrapped up for the day.
Trial witnesses and dozens of other guests were forced out of their rooms and down the fire stairs as piercing alarms blared throughout the downtown Hotel Du Pont at 9:30 pm.
Hunter and wife Melissa Cohen have been discreetly staying at the $400-per-night hotel this week but were nowhere to be seen among the crowd of evacuees standing in the rain outside the 111-year-old building.
