Republicans in Congress are preparing to drill down on allegations that US Attorney David Weiss faced roadblocks in the Hunter Biden investigation from the DOJ under Attorney General Merrick Garland. Both Weiss and Garland have denied the claims.
Both Weiss and Garland have denied the claims. But two IRS whistleblowers who spent years investigating Biden told Congress that Weiss, appointed by former President Donald Trump, made several attempts to bring charges against Biden in jurisdictions overseen by U.S. attorneys appointed by his father. The Biden appointees allegedly blocked Weiss.
In a letter to Weiss on Thursday, Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan demanded answers as to why Weiss had responded to the committee about his authority on behalf of Garland, whom the House Judiciary Committee had initially asked for information. That directly contradicted what Garland told the Senate Judiciary Committee on March 1, when Sen. Chuck Grassley asked him about Weiss’s independence.
Republican lawmakers in both the House and Senate are interested in hearing more from the attorney general, who in the past week denied once again that Weiss faced any hurdles. Because Democrats control the committee, persuading them to agree to another hearing featuring Garland could prove difficult.
