"US Attorney Leading Hunter Biden Probe Offers Public Testimony to Congress"

US attorney David Weiss, who has led the Hunter Biden criminal probe, has offered to testify at a public congressional hearing this fall to address allegations of political interference in the tax investigation. House Republicans have demanded answers from Weiss regarding claims made by two IRS whistleblowers. The Justice Department has proposed several dates in September and October for Weiss to testify to the House Judiciary Committee. However, these dates are after Hunter Biden's scheduled guilty plea. The letter from the Justice Department states that while there are ongoing investigations and judicial proceedings, there are "misrepresentations" that need to be addressed, and it is in the public interest for Weiss to testify. The IRS whistleblowers allege that the criminal probe was hindered by Justice Department officials, but Weiss and other top officials have denied these claims.
