DOJ supports David Weiss, open to meeting House Judiciary ‘when appropriate’.
The Department of Justice Confirms U.S. Attorney’s Willingness to Meet with House Judiciary Committee
The Department of Justice has confirmed that David Weiss, the lead U.S. attorney on the Hunter Biden investigation, is willing to meet with the House Judiciary Committee. This comes after several Republican members pushed for the meeting.
“The Office of Legislative Affairs will reach out to your staff tomorrow to discuss the appropriate timeline and scope of such an appearance,” the DOJ states in a letter obtained by the Washington Examiner.
The request for the meeting was made by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and the Republican chairmen of the House Oversight and the Ways and Means committees. They sent letters to the DOJ, the Secret Service, and the IRS, requesting that Weiss and other federal officials sit for a transcribed interview before the Judiciary.
This request came after IRS whistleblowers testified in June, accusing the DOJ of interfering with Weiss’s investigation into Hunter Biden.
The DOJ clarified in its letter that Weiss had complete control over the Hunter Biden investigation but did not request special counsel status. However, he was assured that he would be granted this authority if necessary.
Earlier this week, Weiss denied the IRS whistleblower claims in a letter to Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), stating that he did not ask for special counsel status and had the ultimate authority over the investigation.
The DOJ reiterated Weiss’s rejection of the claims in the new letter, emphasizing that he has full authority to make referrals to other districts or bring cases in other jurisdictions if necessary.
