Judge Maryellen Noreika kicked off Wednesday’s hearing on Hunter Biden’s proposed plea deal with the Justice Department by telling lawyers that they did not need to keep “popping” up and down every time she asked them a question.
An exhausted Mr. Biden trudged out of Federal District Court in Wilmington, Del., looking a bit stunned, as his lawyers puzzled over what to do next.
“You all are saying, ‘Just rubber stamp the agreement,’” said the judge.
“I’m not in a position to accept or reject it.
I need to defer.”
