NextImg:Judge Says Hunter Biden Legal Team Impersonated Republican To Hide Evidence, Threatens Sanction

A judge accused Hunter Biden’s legal team of impersonating a staffer for a Republican lawyer in order to get a filing removed from the public docket.

U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika, who is overseeing the case surrounding Biden’s tax crimes, said that a member of his legal team “misrepresented … who she worked for” to get evidence removed from the docket. Noreika threatened to place sanctions on the lawyers.

Noreika said the staffer falsely claimed to work for the lawyers employed by Republican representative Jason Smith (Mo.), who chairs the House Ways and Means Committee. Smith had submitted an amicus filing in the case, which was removed from the docket after a staffer for Biden’s lawyers called the court.

Biden’s team said the issue “appears to stem from an unfortunate and unintentional miscommunication between a staff member at our firm and employees of the Court,” CNN reported.

The judge said the staffer called to have the item removed, claiming to work for the Republican representative.

“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,” the judge said.

Jessica Bengels, a staffer for the Biden law firm, said she called the court but denied pretending to work for Smith’s lawyer Ted Kittila.

“I am completely confident that I never indicated that I was calling from Mr. Kittila’s firm or that I worked with him in any way,” Bengels said in an affidavit to the judge.

Biden is expected to plead guilty to misdemeanor tax crimes on Wednesday, avoiding jail time, though Noreika could reject the deal he reached with the Justice Department.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) said this week that the investigations into the Biden family’s foreign business dealings are “rising to the level of impeachment inquiry.”

“If you’re sitting in our position today, we would know none of this if Republicans had not taken the majority. We’ve only followed where the information has taken us,” McCarthy told Sean Hannity on Fox News Monday. “This is rising to the level of impeachment inquiry which provides Congress the strongest power to get the rest of the knowledge and information needed.”
