Judge Warns Hunter Biden’s Lawyers They Could Face Sanctions
A judge told lawyers for Hunter Biden they could face sanctions over the allegation that one member from their law firm lied to the court clerk over the phone to get records pulled from the docket.
The threat from Delaware U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika came the day before a scheduled hearing to consider a plea deal for tax and gun violations that could keep the first son out of prison.
“It appears that the caller misrepresented her identity and who she worked for in an attempt to improperly convince the clerk’s office to remove the amicus materials from the docket,” Noreika said in an order on Tuesday, according to the Daily Mail.
“Therefore, it is hereby ordered that, on or before 9pm today on July 25, 2023, counsel for defendant shall show cause as to why sanctions should not be considered for misrepresentations to the court,” the judge added.
The controversy stems from an amicus brief filing by lawyers representing House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO), who encouraged the court to “consider” whistleblower testimony from Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agents claiming the criminal case led by Delaware’s U.S. Attorney David Weiss has been slow-walked in a way that precluded more serious charges against Biden.
