David Weiss, the U.S. attorney tasked with investigating Hunter Biden, has offered to testify publicly before Congress this fall, according to a letter the Department of Justice sent House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan.
According to a 212-page transcript of his interview, IRS employee Gary Shapley said Attorney General Merrick Garland falsely asserted to Congress in earlier testimony that Weiss, who is based in Delaware, had the authority to charge in other jurisdictions, including California and Washington, D.C. Shapley said bringing charges in those districts is not something the U.S. attorneys there, who were appointed by President Joe Biden, would do.
against IRS officials “for making protected disclosures to Congress.” He also said he believes he could file charges outside his home district if the investigation leads in that direction. In the letter, Weiss didn’t directly address claims that he was blocked from filing charges outside his home district, but insisted that he has been granted “ultimate authority” over the investigation into Hunter Biden, “including responsibility for deciding where, when and whether to file charges.”
