Examining Controversies Surrounding Hunter Biden's Prosecutor and Plea Deal

U.S. Attorney David Weiss is facing scrutiny over a probation-only plea deal for Hunter Biden, with Republicans accusing the Justice Department of corruption. Weiss denies claims by IRS whistleblowers that officials interfered with his investigation into President Biden's son. Weiss, a registered Republican, began his legal career in 1984 and has served as an assistant U.S. attorney and in the private sector. He was nominated by former President Trump and confirmed as U.S. attorney for the District of Delaware in 2018. The Justice Department denies the whistleblowers' claims, stating that Weiss had complete authority in the case.
