"Special Counsel Testifies on Hunter Biden Probe, Denies Political Influence"

David Weiss, the special counsel overseeing the Hunter Biden investigation, is testifying before Congress, marking the first time a special counsel has appeared in the middle of a probe. House Republicans are seeking to escalate their impeachment inquiry into the president and his family. Weiss is testifying to assert his full authority over the investigation and his ability to bring charges in any jurisdiction. The Justice Department's decision to allow Weiss to testify before the conclusion of the investigation highlights the seriousness with which they are addressing accusations of interference. The closed-door interview is expected to focus on allegations of mishandling and interference in the Hunter Biden case. Weiss will be unable to address the specifics of his investigation due to Justice Department policy and the law.
