The federal prosecutor overseeing the investigation into Hunter Biden, US Attorney for the District of Delaware David Weiss, has reiterated his claim of having "ultimate authority" over the Justice Department's probe.
In response to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan's inquiries, Weiss maintained that he had the power to decide “where, when, and whether to file charges” against President Biden's son.
The prosecutor also addressed allegations made by IRS whistleblowers, denying any retaliation or cover-up and emphasizing the protection of confidential law enforcement information.
“I stand by what I wrote… At the outset, I would like to reaffirm the contents of the June 7 letter drafted by my office and reiterate that I am not at liberty to provide the materials you seek.”
The US Attorney in a letter to Chairman Jordan wrote, “The whistleblowers’ allegations relate to a criminal investigation that is now being prosecuted in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. AT this juncture, I am required to protect confidential law enforcement information and deliberative communications related to the case. Thus, I will not provide specific information related to the Hunter Biden investigation at this time.”
