House Republicans Seek More Information on Weiss’ Appointment
House Republicans are questioning why US Attorney General Merrick Garland chose David C. Weiss to lead the Department of Justice’s investigation into Hunter Biden. Weiss was already prosecuting Hunter Biden in a similar case involving alleged tax violations and owning an illegal firearm. Republicans are criticizing Weiss for offering Hunter Biden a plea deal, which has since been rescinded. They have also cited whistleblowers accusing Weiss’ office of slow progress on the case. The Republicans have requested documents and communications relating to Weiss’ appointment.
