Hunter Biden live updates: Judge to weigh plea deal
Hunter Biden's legal team threatened with sanctions
Chris Clark, an attorney for Hunter Biden, asked Kittila to seal the information, and when Kittila refused, a member of the firm representing Hunter Biden reached out to the court seeking to have it removed from the docket. Noreika asked Hunter Biden's legal team to explain why she should not level sanctions against them. In response, Matthew Salerno, an attorney for Biden, called it"an unfortunate and unintentional miscommunication," dispelling Noreika's suggestion that it might have been a nefarious ploy to have a docket entry suppressed.
Experts said it would be exceedingly rare for the judge to deny a plea deal negotiated in good faith. But Theodore Kittila, the attorney for the House panel, wrote that the judge should “evaluate” the IRS whistleblowers’ remarks before ruling, claiming that “plea negotiations were tainted by improper conduct at various levels of government.
