Hunter Biden's counsel faces possible sanctions after accusations of lying in criminal tax case

The judge over Hunter Biden's case is threatening his legal team with sanctions over allegations that they lied in the criminal case, according to a court order.

Specifically, a lawyer from Hunter's legal team is accused of misrepresenting who she was when asking to remove amicus materials from the docket. She allegedly called to ask the clerk to seal the information instead of making a formal request to the court.

"The Court has discussed the matter with the relevant individuals in the Clerk's Office and has been informed that the caller, Ms. Jessica Bengels, represented that she worked with Mr. Kittila and requested the amicus materials be taken down because they contained sensitive grand jury, taxpayer and social security information," the order read.
