"U.S. Attorney Defends Hunter Biden Investigation, Lawyer Roasts IRS Whistleblowers, and Prosecutor Asserts Authority"

David C. Weiss, the U.S. attorney in Delaware, defended his investigation into Hunter Biden in a letter to House Republicans, denying allegations of retaliation against an I.R.S. official and being blocked from pursuing serious charges against Biden. Weiss, a Trump appointee held over by the Biden administration, provided a detailed explanation of the five-year probe that resulted in a plea agreement for Biden last month. He addressed allegations that Biden-appointed U.S. attorneys in California and Washington had blocked him from prosecuting Hunter Biden on felony tax charges, stating that he had the authority to overrule prosecutors if necessary. House Republicans have requested testimony from Weiss and other officials involved in the investigation.
