Trump Judge Worked at Law Firm That Hired Hunter Biden

The federal judge overseeing the case involving former President Donald Trump’s alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election previously worked at a law firm that once employed Hunter Biden.

U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan worked for 12 years at Boies, Schiller, & Flexner LLP (BSF), specializing in white-collar litigation and antitrust defense.

Biden, whose foreign business dealings are being investigated by the House Oversight Committee and Accountability for alleged influence peddling, worked for BSF in the same year he was appointed to Ukrainian energy company Burisma’s board in April 2014, the Daily Caller reported.

Whistleblower Devon Archer told the House panel Monday that Hunter Biden used father Joe Biden, then vice president, on more than 20 phone calls during business meetings to promote the Biden brand.

Chutkan is the only federal D.C. judge who has sentenced Jan. 6 defendants to longer sentences than were requested by the government.

Chutkan has defended Black Lives Matter protesters when their actions in the summer of 2020 after the death of George Floyd have been compared to those by people who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Chutkan said doing such was a “false equivalency.”
