The U.S. attorney in charge of the Hunter Biden investigation broke his silence last week saying the high-profile probe was “influenced by politics” and that he was “hamstrung” when making decisions relating to the case.
U.S. Attorney for the District of Delaware David Weiss also claimed he would “not provide specific information related to the Hunter Biden investigation.”
“The whistleblowers’ allegations relate to a criminal investigation that is now being prosecuted in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware,” Weiss said. “At this juncture, I am required to protect confidential law enforcement information and deliberative communications related to the case.”
From Fox News:
Weiss explained that as U.S. attorney for Delaware, his "charging authority is geographically limited" to his "home district." "If venue for a case lies elsewhere, common Departmental practice is to contact the United States Attorney’s Office for the district in question and determine whether it wants to partner on the case," he wrote. "If not, I may request Special Attorney status from the Attorney General."
