A federal judge directed parties involved in the case against Hunter Biden to refer any issues or questions to her directly and not to the clerk's office, according to a court order filed on Friday.

U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika said she made the demand in light of "apparent misrepresentations" that Hunter Biden's legal team allegedly made this week and after a clerk employee's email was made public by an attorney for House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO).

"I have already discussed my concerns about apparent misrepresentations made to a member of this Court’s Clerk’s Office," Noreika wrote. "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."

She lauded the work of the clerk's office staff before adding, "I will not tolerate or countenance them being ill-used, disrespected, or lied to."

This is a developing story.
