President Biden has consistently defended his son Hunter in the face of legal issues, repeatedly asserting that he believes his son has done nothing wrong. However, the recent appointment of U.S. Attorney David Weiss as special counsel by Attorney General Merrick Garland indicates that the investigation into Hunter’s actions is still ongoing.
Weiss, who has previously investigated Hunter’s business dealings and brought charges against him in Delaware, has faced criticism from Republicans who believe he will contribute to a “coverup” of Hunter Biden’s alleged crimes. In July, Weiss announced a probation-only plea agreement for Hunter, in which he would admit guilt to tax evasion charges. However, the agreement was rejected by U.S. District Court Judge Maryellen Noreika due to concerns over its provisions.
Republicans have denounced this agreement as a “sweetheart deal” and have initiated their own investigation into the Biden family’s business activities, with the intention of potentially impeaching the president. Despite these investigations, President Biden has consistently maintained his son’s innocence, both during the 2020 Democratic presidential primary debates and in subsequent interviews.
Garland’s appointment of Weiss as special counsel confirms that the DOJ investigation is far from over. The Department of Justice stated that Weiss will serve as special counsel for the ongoing investigation and prosecutions related to the United States v. Robert Hunter Biden case, as well as any other matters that may arise from the investigation.
The language used in the DOJ’s statement leaves open the possibility that other members of the Biden family, including the president himself, could potentially become subjects of the investigation. When asked about whether President Biden is being investigated, a Department of Justice official declined to comment.
House Judiciary Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan strongly criticized Weiss’ appointment, accusing him of being untrustworthy and accusing the Biden family of corruption. Jordan’s spokesman, Russell Dye, stated that they will continue to pursue information from whistleblowers and scrutinize Weiss’s statements to Congress.
