A federal judge in California has issued a warning of potential sanctions against Hunter Biden's legal team for allegedly making false statements in a court filing related to the tax case against President Joe Biden's son. U.S. District Judge Mark Scarsi accused the lawyers of misrepresenting the history of the case by claiming that no charges were brought until after Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss was named special counsel in August 2023.
Judge Scarsi clarified that Weiss had actually charged Hunter Biden with misdemeanor tax offenses before being appointed as special counsel, leading to the plea deal falling apart last year. The judge has demanded an explanation from Hunter Biden's lawyers as to why they should not face sanctions for their statements.
