In 2023, Noreika was assigned to the criminal case against Hunter Biden. [13] 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. [14]
