Prosecutor David Weiss Denies Interference and Contradicts Whistleblower Claims in Hunter Biden Case

The federal prosecutor overseeing the Hunter Biden tax investigation, Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, pushed back against allegations of Justice Department wrongdoing, stating that he had discussions about filing charges outside of Delaware but was not denied that option. The tensions between the Justice Department, FBI, and IRS over the handling of the Hunter Biden investigation came to a head as Biden reached a plea deal on misdemeanor tax charges and illegal possession of a gun. IRS agents had previously claimed that Justice officials hindered their investigation, leading to whistleblower complaints and congressional hearings. The prosecutor's letter addressed some of the allegations but did not provide specific details.
