U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika torpedoed Hunter Biden’s original plea deal without reviewing IRS whistleblower transcripts provided to the court by the House Ways and Means Committee.
a brief to the judge that argued she should reconsider the plea agreement in light of an IRS whistleblower’s recent claim the DOJ’s probe into Hunter Biden was politically influenced.
The brief was the center of the controversy over whether a member of Hunter Biden’s legal team “misrepresented her identity” to “improperly” convince the clerk to remove Smith’s brief from the docket. “Yesterday, I received from third parties a letter with almost 900 pages of attachments in one case, and a memorandum of law with hundreds of more pages of exhibits in the other,” the judge told the court. “I have not had time to review those submissions.”
“Even though I have not been able to review the third-party submissions, I do understand that they request that I reject the plea agreement based on information that the filers submit cast doubt on the investigation performed or the charges brought or both,” she said.The brief and the judge’s lack of time to review it before the hearing is notable because the original plea deal fell apart without the brief’s review.
