Former President Donald Trump Slams Biden and DOJ Over Special Counsel Appointment

“Crooked Joe Biden, Hunter Biden,​ and the entire Biden Crime Family have been protected by the Justice Department for decades ‍even though there is overwhelming evidence⁤ and credible testimony detailing their wrongdoing of lying ⁢to the American people and selling out the country to foreign⁣ enemies for the Biden Cartel’s⁤ own financial gain,”

Federal investigators in Delaware had targeted Hunter Biden for a money laundering scheme beginning in‌ 2019, which led to ⁤a subpoena ⁤of the younger Biden’s now-infamous laptop.⁣ Weiss, an appointee of ‍Trump, led​ the investigation that culminated in a failed plea deal in which Hunter‌ Biden would plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax ‌charges and enter into a pretrial‌ diversion agreement to avoid a felony ⁢gun charge.

“If this⁣ special counsel is truly independent ‌- even though he failed to bring proper charges after⁤ a four year investigation and he ⁢appears to‍ be trying to move the ⁢case to a more Democrat-friendly venue⁤ -⁤ he will quickly conclude that Joe Biden, his troubled son Hunter, and their​ enablers, including the media, which colluded with the 51 intelligence officials who knowingly misled the public about Hunter’s laptop, should face the required consequences,” Trump’s spokesperson continued.

Republicans on Capitol Hill and those running for president had widely denounced the agreement between the younger Biden and the Justice Department as a “sweetheart deal.” GOP lawmakers have also criticized a “two-tier” Justice Department in the wake of Trump facing three federal indictments in 2023.‌ As‌ of Friday ‌afternoon, federal prosecutors and attorneys for⁣ Hunter Biden had hit an “impasse” on the agreement signaling the case will likely head to trial.

The White​ House and Biden administration have declined ⁢to ⁣comment on ​the ⁣appointment of Weiss as special counsel.
