Emails obtained by the Heritage Foundation contradict U.S. Attorney David Weiss’s claim that he had “ultimate authority” over charging decisions in the Hunter Biden investigation. The emails show that Weiss coordinated with the Department of Justice (DOJ) and that DOJ officials offered to “take the lead” on drafting responses to inquiries from GOP lawmakers. The emails also reveal that Weiss did not write a letter claiming “ultimate authority,” but it was written by the DOJ to support Attorney General Merrick Garland’s testimony. Critics argue that the emails undermine Weiss’s independence and raise questions about the handling of the investigation.
