A former FBI supervisory special agent who worked on the Hunter Biden investigation corroborated assertions by two IRS whistleblowers that FBI headquarters tipped off the Secret Service and the Biden presidential transition team about investigative plans, according to a new transcript.
The transcript released Monday by the House Oversight and Accountability Committee compounds questionable investigative conduct in a probe run for five years by the office of U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss.
On Friday, Attorney General Merrick Garland named Weiss as special counsel in the case, officially giving Weiss more authority and powers to investigate the case in any jurisdiction. Previously, Weiss was confined to initiating legal action in Delaware, which Biden represented in the Senate for 36 years before becoming vice president.
“The Oversight Committee has no confidence in U.S. Attorney Weiss as special counsel given his inability to prevent the Biden transition team from being contacted and federal agents were not permitted to interview Hunter Biden as planned,” Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., said in a public statement.
A federal judge last month threw out what critics had called a sweetheart plea agreement between federal prosecutors and Hunter Biden on tax and firearms charges, a deal in which the younger Biden would not do time behind bars.
