U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan of Washington, D.C., the judge overseeing former President Donald Trump's case in the district, previously worked at a law firm that once employed Hunter Biden and worked closely with Ukrainian energy firm Burisma.
Chutkan worked at other private sector law firms and served as a public defender in Washington D.C. prior to her tenure at BSF. She graduated from George Washington University and the University of Pennsylvania law school.
Hunter Biden worked for BSF in the same year he was appointed to Burisma's board in April 2014.
Hunter quickly brought BSF partners into the fold to assist Burisma with its efforts to influence U.S. officials, according to emails on Hunter Biden's laptop.
In April 2014, Hunter Biden and business associate Devon Archer spoke about how BSF could give them "Protection" and work with government officials on Burisma's behalf.
King communicated with the State Department on behalf of Burisma founder Mykola Zlochevsky and strategized with Burisma on how to handle the press and influence government officials, emails from May 2014 indicate.
She suggested Burisma hire professional lobbyists, a PR firm and an investigative research firm to bolster its influence operation, per the emails.
