U.S. Attorney David Weiss released a report criticizing President Biden's claims of a 'miscarriage of justice' and selective prosecution in the case of his son, Hunter Biden. Weiss defended the investigations as thorough and impartial, asserting that the charges against the younger Biden were not politically motivated.
U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who spearheaded the investigations into Hunter Biden, released a scathing report on Monday vehemently defending the probes and rebuking President Joe Biden for his claims of a 'miscarriage of justice' and selective prosecution. Weiss asserted that the charges against the younger Biden were the product of 'thorough, impartial investigations,' not partisan politics, and criticized the president for maligning the Justice Department based on 'false accusations.
' He highlighted that while other presidents have pardoned family members, none have used the occasion to attack the integrity of Justice Department officials. The report, a customary recap of the investigative findings by a Justice Department special counsel, delves into the politically charged years-long investigations into Hunter Biden, which predated Attorney General Merrick Garland's tenure but became a focal point during his time. The investigations, initially revealed by Hunter Biden himself in 2020 when he disclosed the tax scrutiny, took a tumultuous path, encountering disagreements and delays.Weiss recounted the details of the case, noting that Hunter Biden, a 'Yale educated lawyer and businessperson,' knowingly lied on a federal gun-purchase form in 2018 by claiming he was not an illegal drug user, despite his active crack cocaine use. He emphasized that while the younger Biden's legal team had argued that prosecutors succumbed to political pressure, the investigations demonstrated the 'equal application of justice' regardless of one's last name. The report also addressed President Biden's claim that his son was treated differently due to his familial connection, stating that judges had rejected this assessment. Weiss countered these assertions, asserting that the president's characterizations were 'incorrect based on the facts in this case' and 'fundamentally wrong.' He reiterated that the prosecutions were a result of meticulous, unbiased investigations, not politically motivated actions. The report concludes with a strong defense of the investigative team's integrity and a rejection of the president's claims of a 'miscarriage of justice.'The report sheds light on the complex and politically charged nature of the investigations into Hunter Biden, highlighting the tension between the Justice Department's pursuit of justice and the president's desire to protect his son. It serves as a stark reminder of the scrutiny and challenges faced by those in positions of power, particularly when personal relationships intersect with legal proceedings.
