Weiss Criticizes Biden Over Hunter's Broad Pardon

Special Counsel David Weiss has criticized President Joe Biden for his comments regarding the prosecution of his son, Hunter Biden, which Weiss claims undermines the integrity of the justice system. Weiss, a former Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney, defended the impartiality of his investigations into Hunter's tax evasion and gun charges, despite Biden's assertions of political bias. Biden's decision to pardon his son, despite previous pledges not to interfere, has sparked controversy and debate over potential political motivations. Weiss's report emphasizes that the cases were handled fairly and not influenced by politics, countering claims made by both Hunter Biden and his legal team about selective and unfair prosecution. The pardon covered all potential federal crimes Hunter may have committed over an 11-year period, rendering further legal action moot. Weiss argues that such political attacks from the president erode public trust in the justice system.
