Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, disclosed in 2020 that a federal prosecutor in Delaware was investigating his tax affairs.
n March. The lawyer, Clint Lancaster, also said that the woman had handed over a significant amount of Hunter's financial records to federal investigators.
"I expect him to be indicted," Lancaster said about Biden at the time."Just based on what I saw in his financial records, I would be surprised if he's not indicted." Hunter Biden's criminal defense lawyer Christopher Clark did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the letter to Garland. Nor did spokesmen for Garland and Weiss.Trump appointed Weiss as the top federal prosecutor in President Biden's home state. Weiss was allowed to remain in his job, unlike other U.S. attorneys appointed by Trump, and to continue his probe of Hunter Biden when President Biden took office.
Under federal law, the attorney general can appoint a special counsel when an investigation or prosecution of a person by a U.S. Attorney's office or the Department of Justice"would present a conflict of interest for the Department or other extraordinary circumstances." A spokeswoman for Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, one of the signatories of the letter to Garland, said in an email to CNBC that if the attorney general complied with the letter's request, Weiss would"get the protections and authorities of special counsel, as [Trump's attorney general William] Barr did with U.S. Attorney John Durham."
