John Lausch: The Trump-era U.S. attorney handling the JoeBiden classified docs saga
Garland picked U.S. Attorney John Lausch to handle the Biden classified documents saga after the records were allegedly found by the president's attorneys at the D.C.-based think tank in November 2022.Lausch is one of only two Trump-appointed federal prosecutors kept on by Biden — the other is David Weiss, the U.S. attorney for Delaware, who is investigating Biden’s son Hunter.
The attorney general has reportedly asked Lausch to look into how the classified records made their way to Biden’s office and to determine if more investigation is needed, including the appointment of a special counsel. “We are disappointed with the decision to terminate U.S. Attorney Lausch without consulting us,” Durbin and Duckworth said in February 2021, adding, “While the President has the right to remove U.S. attorneys, there is precedent for U.S. attorneys in the Northern District of Illinois to remain in office to conclude sensitive investigations.”CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER
