David Weiss Completes Investigation of Hunter Biden

Special Counsel David Weiss released his final report on January 13, defending his investigation into Hunter Biden, which resulted in felony convictions on gun and tax charges that were later pardoned by President Biden. Weiss criticized the president's claims of political motivation behind the investigation as 'gratuitous and wrong,' emphasizing that his decisions were grounded in legal principles and supported by a unanimous jury. The report also highlighted the extensive scrutiny of Hunter Biden's business dealings and personal struggles over several years, culminating in a guilty plea before his sentencing. Weiss noted that the pardon rendered any further prosecution discussions inappropriate. The investigation, which began in 2018 and gained prominence amid political scrutiny, has been a contentious issue, drawing accusations of partisanship from both sides. Weiss maintains that his work was objective and not influenced by political pressures.
