WASHINGTON – Justice Department special counsel David Weiss told a House committee on Tuesday nobody is thwarting his investigation of Hunter Biden and politics plays no role in it.
He was emphatic assuring committee members that only he is “the decision-maker.”
Weiss has been investigating the president's son, Hunter Biden, for five years – first as U.S. attorney in Delaware and recently as special counsel. After a plea deal for tax and gun charges fell apart in July, Hunter Biden was indicted in September on three federal gun charges and has pleaded not guilty.
