A lawyer for Hunter Biden said Friday that he’s confident that the first son won’t face new criminal charges even after Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss was named special counsel, arming him with new powers in the investigation.
Defense attorney Chris Clark said he’s unaware of any wrongdoing Hunter Biden committed outside of Delaware and that he is baffled that Mr. Weiss would ask to be named special counsel.
Mr. Clark’s statement comes after Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that he was elevating Mr. Weiss to special counsel to continue his Hunter Biden probe. Hunter Biden was expected to plead guilty to the charges in exchange for probation, but a Delaware judge questioned the plea agreement and scuttled it.
