A judge on Wednesday chided Hunter Biden’s lawyers and threatened to sanction them for “making false statements” in their recent motion to throw out his federal tax indictment.

District Judge Mark Scarsi issued the warning in a 3-page order where he called out Hunter Biden’s lawyers for “misrepresenting the history” of the case. He gave them one week to explain themselves, or potentially face sanctions, like professional disciplinary proceedings or monetary fines.

The dispute revolves around previous assertions from Hunter Biden’s team where they claimed special counsel David Weiss “brought no charges” in the probe when he was serving as US attorney, before he was elevated to special counsel last year.

“These statements, however, are not true, and Mr. Biden’s counsel knows they are not true,” Scarsi wrote.   ...
