A second FBI official who appeared before the House Judiciary Committee on Monday testified that now-special counsel David Weiss had to go through"other processes" to charge Hunter Biden after U.S. attorneys in Washington, D.C., and California allegedly blocked him from bringing charges against Biden last year.
The agent works in the Baltimore Field Office under FBI Special Agent in Charge Thomas Sobocinksi, who testified to the committee last week on the same topic. The Washington Examiner was asked to withhold her name for this story after she conveyed in her testimony that an agent had received"concerning" contact from people after the agent's name was made public.
The assistant special agent in charge was also asked about some of the allegations that a pair of IRS criminal investigators-turned-whistleblowers made about Weiss's authority and other aspects of the Hunter Biden case in testimonies in May. While she said she did not have all the"same recollection[s]" as the IRS officials, she also did not have any concerns with the veracity of their statements when asked about it.
Part of the GOP's inquiry involves investigating if Hunter Biden received"special treatment" during the DOJ's yearslong investigation of him. The investigation culminated after about five years in Weiss, the case's lead prosecutor, charging the younger Biden in June with two misdemeanor tax charges and a felony gun charge, which Republicans found to be deeply inadequate.
Weiss also indicated at the meeting that he had been blocked by U.S. attorneys from bringing charges in Washington, D.C., and California, Shapley said.
