Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz slammed the decision to appoint David Weiss as special counsel in the DOJ's probe into Hunter Biden as a 'cover-up.'
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, joins 'Sunday Morning Futures' to discuss accusations against the Biden family and calls for impeachment inquiries against members of the Biden administration.
"This appointment is camouflage, and it's a cover-up," he told Fox News' Maria Bartiromo on"Sunday Morning Futures." The appointment, which has garnered intense criticism from many in the days since, was announced by Garland at a press conference in Washington, D.C. on Friday. The White House was not informed of Garland's decision before the news broke, according to a senior DOJ official., R- Ky., who alleged the Biden Justice Department is working to"stonewall congressional oversight" as Congress presented evidence pointing to alleged Biden family corruption.
"Garland's move to appoint a special counsel for the Biden probe could put a freeze on the GOP's investigation of President Biden and the Biden family by stopping any information flow," she said. "They said they'd never seen an investigation like this in their entire time in law enforcement," he said.
"The result of all of that is that David Weiss either was an active participant in covering up this criminality and protecting Joe Biden and in engaging in obstruction of justice. That's option one, or option two – he wasn't the driver. He was just complicit.
