Cruz criticizes Garland for appointing special counsel in Hunter Biden case.
Sen. Ted Cruz Slams U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland for Controversial Appointment
In a scathing critique, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) criticized U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland for appointing Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss as special counsel in the Hunter Biden criminal investigation. This decision comes after Weiss’s involvement in a highly controversial plea deal that was ultimately rejected by a federal judge.
During an interview with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures,” Cruz expressed his outrage, labeling the appointment as ”disgraceful” and “a cover-up.”
“The result of all of that is that David Weiss either was an active participant in covering up this criminality and protecting Joe Biden in engaging in obstruction of justice. That is Option One,” Cruz stated. “Or Option Two: he wasn’t the driver, he was just complicit. He was so weak that he could not stop the partisans and main justice from turning it into a political effort to protect Joe Biden.”
Cruz firmly believes that Weiss is an inappropriate choice for special counsel, asserting, “We should have a special counsel to investigate Merrick Garland for whether he lied under oath to Congress during questioning from me and whether he committed obstruction of justice.”
Furthermore, Cruz emphasized the need for a special counsel to investigate Joe Biden and the $20 million his family received while he was vice president, as no such investigation has taken place yet.
