Special Counsel David Weiss Affirms Politics Played No Role in Hunter Biden Probe

Special Counsel David C. Weiss defended the integrity of his investigation into Hunter Biden before the House Judiciary Committee, countering Republican claims of a sweetheart deal under pressure from the White House. Weiss stated that he had full authority in the case and was not blocked from pursuing charges. He also disputed a whistleblower's claim that he lacked authority for tax and gun charges. The closed-door interview lasted over six hours, with Weiss refusing to discuss internal deliberations. The investigation into Hunter Biden's foreign consulting work and tax issues is ongoing.
