Hunter Biden Prosecutor Denies Being Refused Authority to Bring Charges
The federal prosecutor investigating Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden‘s adult son, says he was never denied the authority to bring charges in the case, rejecting whistleblower claims about the Department of Justice (DOJ) allegedly inhibiting the probe.
In a Monday letter, Delaware’s U.S. Attorney David Weiss said he has “not requested” special counsel status, a designation that would allow him to file charges outside his district without partnering with the local U.S. attorney, amid allegations that he was blocked from bringing charges in Washington, D.C., and California. Attorney General Merrick Garland has also denied that Weiss requested special counsel powers.
Weiss, a Trump appointee, further stated that he had discussions with DOJ officials about a “potential” appointment under a section of U.S. Code dedicated to special attorneys and was “assured” that he would be granted this authority “if it proved necessary.” This “assurance,” the prosecutor added, was made before an October 7, 2022, meeting during which IRS supervisory special agent Gary Shapley, a whistleblower in this matter, claims Weiss announced that he had been denied special counsel status. A second IRS official also relayed to lawmakers a second-hand account of this meeting with matching claims.
