Description

The judge overseeing Hunter Biden's plea deal has accused a member of Biden's legal team of misrepresenting herself in a phone call to the court. The incident involved an employee from the law firm Latham & Watkins, representing Hunter Biden, who allegedly falsely claimed to work for a Republican lawyer in an attempt to have documents containing Biden's personal tax information removed from the public docket. Latham & Watkins denied any wrongdoing, stating that there was an unintentional miscommunication between their employee and court staff. The judge has threatened sanctions and ordered Biden's legal team to explain the situation. Under the plea deal, Hunter Biden has agreed to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and enter a pretrial diversion program to avoid prosecution for a felony gun charge. The judge, a Trump appointee, is scheduled to review the deal in a hearing.
