"US Attorney's Authority and Decision on Charging Hunter Biden Explained"

The U.S. Attorney for Central California, E. Martin Estrada, testified to Congress that the prosecutor leading the investigation into Hunter Biden had full authority to pursue criminal tax charges in California but declined any partnership with his office. This contradicts claims made by an IRS whistleblower that the U.S. attorney for Delaware, David Weiss, had stated he was not the deciding person to bring charges. Two FBI officials assigned to the investigation also did not recall Weiss saying he lacked authority. Estrada offered administrative resources and office space to Weiss' staff but declined to be co-counsel. The Republican-led congressional investigations into Hunter Biden's finances have raised questions about potential interference in the probes.
