FILE - Hunter Biden departs from federal court, June 7, 2024, in Wilmington, Del. The judge presiding over Hunter Biden's federal gun trial in Delaware is a former corporate civil lawyer with a background in biology who was nominated to the bench by former President Donald Trump. But even while that might raise partisan eyebrows and questions of political pressure in the highly watched case, U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika was recommended for the bench by the two Democratic senators from one of the country's smallest states.
