Hunter Biden Controversies Overshadow President Biden's Agenda

U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who recently brought criminal charges against Hunter Biden, defended the investigation in a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, pushing back against claims of impeded investigation and retaliation. Weiss reiterated his defense of the investigation and his authority over the matter. The plea deal with Hunter Biden, which includes misdemeanor tax counts and a felony gun charge, will have to be approved by a judge. An IRS agent involved in the case alleged that Weiss was denied special counsel status and that prosecutors in Delaware were prevented from bringing charges in other jurisdictions. Weiss denied these allegations and stated that he is unable to provide specific information related to the investigation at this time. House Republicans have requested interviews with Weiss and other investigators, but no commitment has been made.
