Attorney General Merrick Garland will be in the hot seat this week facing serious questions about historic indictments against President Joe Biden's son, Hunter, and former President Donald Trump.
Garland will appear before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, where committee Chairman Jim Jordan said the"two big issues" will be the fairness of prosecutions led by special counsels David Weiss and Jack Smith, both appointed by Garland.“I think that the top issues are going to be David Weiss, this [Hunter Biden] investigation," Jordan told the Washington Examiner in an interview.
Weiss, the top prosecutor in the Hunter Biden case, became a top target for Republicans after two IRS criminal investigators involved in the case reported to Congress in the spring that the department had"slow-walked" the case and that U.S. attorneys in Washington, D.C., and California had blocked Weiss from bringing charges against Biden in those jurisdictions.
"One of the themes that the country sees is you've got now David Weiss named a special counsel, the same guy who for four and a half years tried to make this all go away," Jordan said."Every witness we've talked to has told us how they were frustrated at the pace of this investigation, how it was slow-walked, how there was no real urgency to try to get it done in their minds, so you’ve got David Weiss, the special counsel here it looks like to protect Joe Biden.
In addition to Garland's testimony — the attorney general typically attends an annual hearing as part of the committee's standard oversight obligations — Jordan is expecting to question Weiss after the DOJ vowed the prosecutor would testify in September or October.
