Special Counsel Leading Probe Into Hunter Biden Testifying to Congress

Special counsel David Weiss is testifying behind closed doors.

The U.S. prosecutor investigating President Joe Biden’s son is testifying to Congress on Nov. 7.

Special counsel David Weiss, appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland, is answering questions before the House Judiciary Committee.

Mr. Weiss will be confronted with his shifting position on whether he had the ultimate authority to bring charges against Hunter Biden, the president’s son, in various venues outside his home district of Delaware.

Mr. Weiss told lawmakers earlier this year that he had โ€œultimate authority over this matter, including responsibility for deciding where, when, and whether to file charges.โ€

But he later said that his charging authority was โ€œlimitedโ€ to Delaware and that if he wanted to bring charges elsewhere, he would need to โ€œpartnerโ€ with the local U.S. attorney. That attorney could reject the request, Mr. Weiss said. If that happened, he could request special attorney status. Mr. Weiss said he had “been assured” that he would be granted that status if he requested it.

Mr. Weiss was never made special attorney, even after at least two U.S. attorneys outside Delaware rejected requests from Mr. Weiss to partner.

โ€œMr. Weiss is prepared to take this unprecedented step of testifying before the conclusion of his investigation to make clear that heโ€™s had and continues to have full authority over his investigation and to bring charges in any jurisdiction,โ€ Wyn Hornbuckle, a spokesperson for Mr. Weiss, told news outlets in a statement before the appearance on Tuesday.

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), a member of the House panel, said that Mr. Weiss “is anything but partial.”

“He worked closely with Beau Biden. He crafted a sweetheart deal for Hunter Biden. He stonewalled the IRS from looking into Joe Biden. We’ll find out more tomorrow,” he said on X on Monday.

Republicans Looking for Answers

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), chairman of the House committee, has said evidence points to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) working to sweep allegations against Mr. Biden under the rug, which is why his panel has focused on Mr. Weiss and the DOJ.
