"Special Counsel Denies Political Meddling in Hunter Biden Probe, Asserts Full Authority in Pursuing Criminal Charges"

Special Counsel David Weiss, leading the inquiry into Hunter Biden, testified before Congress, denying claims of political interference in the case. Weiss stated that his probe has not been blocked by the justice department and that he is the decision-maker in the case, bound by federal law and DoJ guidelines. Republicans had alleged improper interference based on whistleblowers' claims, but Weiss asserted his independence. Hunter Biden, facing gun charges, was offered a plea deal that fell apart, and he was subsequently indicted on federal gun charges. Prosecutors are also investigating his foreign business dealings, while a separate special counsel is investigating President Biden's handling of classified documents.
