U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who is leading the case against Biden, stated that there is an ongoing investigation. However, McCarthy questioned the DOJ&#8217;s motives, suggesting that it could be a tactic to prevent House Republicans from accessing crucial information.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy firmly stated, &#8220;How can Hunter Biden plead guilty, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/former-l-a-d-a-s-husband-who-pulled-a-gun-on-a-blm-leader-requests-diversion-to-avoid-jail\/\" title=\"Former L.A.
