David Weiss is the little-known United States attorney for Delaware who brought criminal charges against Hunter Biden amid whistleblower allegations that the Justice Department's investigation was politicized.
Hunter Biden reached a plea deal on federal charges related to tax crimes and the illegal purchase of a handgun, Weiss’s office wrote in a court filing on Tuesday.The experienced federal prosecutor, 66, was nominated by then-President Donald Trump in November 2017. Sens. Tom Carper and Chris Coons had urged Trump to accept Weiss for the role. He was easily confirmed by the Senate in February 2018.
Weiss’s office noted Biden had been hit with “two misdemeanor tax offenses and a felony firearm offense.” The Delaware federal prosecutor said that “the investigation is ongoing. He promised the charges will have"no impact" on his committee's investigation into the Biden family's alleged"pattern of corruption, influence peddling, and possibly bribery."
But IRS whistleblowers have alleged the Justice Department — specifically including the U.S. attorney’s office run by Weiss — mishandled the investigation. A source familiar with the whistleblower letter confirmed to the Washington Examiner that Garland is the unnamed senior Biden official whose testimony before Congress is being challenged.
