TL;DR Summary

Attorney General Merrick Garland denied allegations made by two IRS whistleblowers that the Justice Department interfered in a tax investigation into Hunter Biden. Garland stated that the Trump-appointed U.S. attorney in Delaware, David Weiss, had "complete authority to make all decisions on his own" and required no permission from Justice Department headquarters to bring charges. Hunter Biden recently made a deal with Weiss' office and agreed to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges related to his failure to pay taxes.
