Acting Assistant Attorney General Stuart Goldberg, the Justice Department’s top tax prosecutor, told House investigators on October 25 that now-Special Counsel David Weiss could not bring tax charges against Hunter Biden without high-level approval, according to a transcribed interview reviewed by Breitbart News.
“Was the fact that Hunter Biden was involved here, did that require DOJ Tax’s signoff because it’s a sensitive matter?” a House investigator asked Goldberg during the interview. Goldberg also told investigators that Weiss’ full authority, including his special counsel status, does not mean he could avoid seeking approval from the DOJ Tax Division to charge Hunter Biden for tax violations.“We talked about earlier this morning that the final authority for prosecution or not of criminal matters arising under the Internal Revenue laws rest with the Tax Division, correct?” an investigator asked the prosecutor.
Later an investigator asked, “And if someone — if Mr. Weiss gets 515 authority, he would still be required to go through the Tax Division to get approval of tax charges. Is that correct?” an investigator asked in referenced the special counsel status.WATCH — Dem Rep. Lofgren: Garland Dodged on if He Spoke to FBI About Hunter Because He Might Have Done So:
