Biden-Appointed Prosecutor Rejected Hunter Case, Raising Conflict of Interest Questions

U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves, appointed by President Joe Biden, saw no conflict of interest problems with addressing a case against the president’s son when Graves was presented with the case last year.

Graves, who also donated to Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign, was grilled on the topic by the House Judiciary Committee during a closed-door interview this month, according to a transcript reviewed by the Washington Examiner.

“But you understand the perception problem,” counsel for the committee told Graves. “You’re an appointee of President Biden, and, here, you’ve been asked to weigh in on a prosecution involving his son. I mean, certainly, there’s an obvious perceived — at least the perceived conflict of interest, correct?”

Graves replied, “I don’t see it that way.”

“We have investigations all the time — the Department [of Justice] does, of individuals who are members of the administration,” Graves said. “A family member of the administration? I don’t see it as necessarily a conflict of interest or perception of a conflict of interest.” (Read more from “Biden-Appointed Prosecutor Rejected Hunter Case, Raising Conflict of Interest Questions” HERE)
