A far-left prosecutor whose campaign was backed by billionaire financier George Soros has been removed from a burglary case in Loudoun County, Virginia.
According to WTTG-TV, Loudoun County Circuit Court Judge James Plowman removed Commonwealth’s Attorney Buta Biberaj’s office from the case of serial burglary suspect Kevin Enrique Valle. Biberaj was elected in 2020.
In an order obtained by WTTG for its report Saturday, Plowman wrote Biberaj’s office has been “deliberately misleading the Court and the public” throughout the case.
When Valle was arrested, he had five warrants. They stemmed from three misdemeanor charges for destruction of property and false identification, as well as two felony burglary charges.
Plowman wrote that Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney Michele Burton attempted to push a plea deal that suggested all of Valle’s crimes occurred in a short time period on the same day. That, he wrote, was “entirely inaccurate.”

While Plowman wrote that the crimes in Loudon County occurred on May 18, 2021, he added Valle was accused of three other burglaries in Fairfax County that day. Valle also allegedly committed two burglaries in Fauquier County and four in Prince William County on May 14, 2021.
Plowman wrote that the Commonweath’s Attorney’s Office failed to discuss Valle’s previous criminal record. He recently pleaded guilty to three felonies and had other felony charges pending, according to the order.
“The Commonwealth is deliberately misleading the Court, and the public, in an effort to ‘sell’ the plea agreement for some reason that has yet to be explained,” Plowman wrote.
In the order, Plowman wrote, “The Commonwealth’s Attorney’s office agreed to a 6-month sentence, and the low end of the sentencing guidelines was 7 months.” With the additional charges in Fauquier County factored in, “the low end of the guidelines was 1 year and 7 months,” he wrote.
