BREAKING: AG Garland appoints Hunter Biden investigator David Weiss special counsel
Merrick Garland"I'm here today to announce the appointment of David Weiss as a special counsel consistent with the Department of Justice regulations governing such matters. In keeping with those regulations, I have today notified the designated members of each House of Congress of the appointment," Garland said.
Garland said on Tuesday that Weiss told him that"in his judgment, his investigation has reached a stage at which he should continue his work as a special counsel, and he asked to be appointed."
