Republicans raised unsubstantiated allegations against Joe Biden over his family\u0027s finances as they summoned IRS whistleblowers to testify.
Weiss and the Justice Department have denied that, saying he had “full authority” and never sought to bring charges in other states.
Ziegler told the committee thatl he decided to come forward publicly “not as a hero or a victim,” but as a married, gay Democrat “compelled to disclose the truth.”Article contentDemocrats on the committee pushed back on the whistleblower claims that Hunter Biden received special treatment because his father was the nominee for president in the upcoming 2020 election.
Democrats have pointed out that Weiss was appointed to his post by Trump and the federal investigation into Hunter Biden was initiated under Trump. Biden kept Weiss on the case when he won the election.Article content Before the hearing, Comer, R-Ky., acknowledged it has been difficult for Republicans to succinctly outline Hunter Biden’s tangled financial affairs or to provide convincing evidence of any specific wrongdoing by the president or his family.
It is unclear how much of the conflict described by the whistleblowers amounts to internal disagreement about how to pursue the investigation or a pattern of interference and preferential treatment. Department policy has long warned prosecutors to take care in charging cases with potential political overtones around the time of an election, to avoid any possible influence on the outcome.
