Judge Maryellen Noreika has instructed Hunter Biden and his lawyers that from now on, all requests must come directly to her after a staffer from their office had the clerk delete almost 500 pages of evidence before she got to see it. Hunter’s lawyers claimed it was just a big misunderstanding. Right. Now the judge says it has to come to her so no more “misunderstandings” occur. This judge doesn’t play any games.
The order says:
“I have already discussed my concerns about apparent misrepresentations made to a member of this Court’s Clerk’s Office. In addition to that, in a submission addressing those apparent misrepresentations, counsel for the House Ways and Means Committee needlessly included on the public docket an email from a Clerk’s Office staff member that contained her personal contact information.”
“THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, going forward, any issues or inquiries in the above-captioned cases shall be brought to my attention and not to the Clerk’s Office. Any such issues and inquiries shall be submitted in writing and placed on the docket.”
Bengals allegedly tried to get the clerk to take down information from the IRS whistleblower testimony because it contained sensitive information. IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and, Joseph Ziegler have testified in front of the Ways & Means and Oversight Committees about obstruction coming from Meritless Garland and the DOJ in order to give Hunter a free pass. Shapely’s entire investigative staff was fired from the case because they wanted to charge him with felonies. They were fired and that allowed the DOJ to give Hunter an unbelievable sweetheart deal. Judge Noreika killed the plea deal.
VISIT OUR YOUTUBE CHANNELA partner at Latham & Watkins attributed the incident to a “miscommunication” in a Tuesday night letter to Noreika, saying that Bengals is not part of Biden’s legal team. Bengals said in a sworn affidavit filed Tuesday that she did not misrepresent her identity to deceive the court.

Noreika’s latest order follows Hunter Biden’s Wednesday court appearance where his guilty plea imploded after the judge scrutinized its contents. Heading into the hearing, Biden was expected to plead guilty to two tax misdemeanors and a felony gun charge. U.S. Attorney David Weiss, the lead prosecutor in the Biden investigation, has said the case is still ongoing.
Court transcripts show Judge Noreika asked Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutor Leo Wise and Biden attorney Chris Clark about an immunity provision hidden in Hunter Biden’s diversion agreement and its connection to the First Son’s decision to plead guilty.
Noreika’s scrutiny resulted in Biden’s plea deal blowing up after Wise conceded that the immunity provision would not protect Biden from potential charges under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) for his business dealings with Ukraine, China and Romania.
Hunter Biden ended up pleading not guilty to his charges. Noreika ordered Biden to seek employment and lay off drugs as part of the conditions of his release.
