Special Counsel David Weiss Responds To President Biden's Attacks on Hunter Biden Prosecution

Jack Smith isn't the only game in town. Attorney General Garland also released a 278-page report from Special Counsel David Weiss concerning Hunter Biden. Because President Biden gave his son a full, complete, and preemptive pardon, Weiss did not discuss any other potential uncharged conduct. But Weiss spent several pages responding to President Biden's comments concerning the prosecution.

In making my decisions, I remained impervious to political influence at all times. However, Mr. Biden and his counsel have continuously accused me of vindictively and selectively prosecuting him. 137 And in the press release accompanying his son's pardon, President Biden echoed these claims, stating that he believed Mr. Biden was "selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted."138 These baseless accusations have no merit and repeating them threatens the integrity of the justice system as a whole.

Weiss quotes from several judges who ruled against Hunter, and found no evidence of political bias.
