Federal district Judge Maryellen Noreika, a Donald Trump appointee, is currently overseeing the gun case involving Hunter Biden in Delaware. Noreika was confirmed by the US Senate in August 2018 with the support of both Democratic senators from Delaware, following the Senate's blue slip tradition.
Sen. Chris Coons, a Democrat, praised Noreika for her nomination, highlighting her as a seasoned attorney with impressive trial skills and a deep understanding of federal practice.
