Cruz Tells Newsmax: Weiss’ Candidacy as Special Counsel Raises Ineligibility Concerns
Senator Ted Cruz criticized the appointment of David Weiss as special counsel for the investigation of Hunter Biden, stating that Weiss is “ineligible” under Department of Justice rules. Cruz argued that Weiss, being a sitting U.S. attorney, is a conflict of interest and accused him and Attorney General Merrick Garland of covering up wrongdoing by Hunter and protecting Joe Biden. Cruz also expressed disappointment in Garland, whom he believed would act with integrity but now considers to be the most partisan attorney general. Additionally, Cruz criticized the multiple indictments against former President Donald Trump, viewing them as an abuse of the legal process and an attack on political opponents.
