Maryellen Noreika

Last updated

In 2023, Noreika presided over a case involving Hunter Biden laptop repairman John Paul Mac Isaac. He sued CNN, Politico, Hunter Biden, the Joe Biden 2020 presidential campaign, and Adam Schiff over allegations they defamed him by claiming the laptop's content was Russian propaganda. Noreika dismissed the part against Schiff, and sent the rest to Delaware Superior Court. [4] [10] [3]

In 2023, Noreika was assigned to the criminal case against Hunter Biden. [11] In July, Biden was expecting to plead guilty to two tax misdemeanors and enter a diversion program on a gun charge. Noreika declined to accept the deal, pending clarification of its terms by the parties. Biden pleaded not guilty on the tax charges. [12]
