This comes after several Republican members pushed for the meeting.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe Office of Legislative Affairs will reach out to your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-what-were-hoping-is-that-they-kick-us-out-high-school-student-leads-others-to-enter-school-maskless\/\" title=\"WATCH: \u2018What We\u2019re Hoping Is That They Kick Us Out\u2019: High School Student Leads Others To Enter School Maskless\">staff tomorrow<\/a> to discuss the appropriate timeline and scope of such an appearance,\u201d the DOJ states in a letter obtained by the Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>This request came after IRS whistleblowers testified in June, accusing the DOJ of interfering with Weiss\u2019s investigation into Hunter Biden.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The DOJ clarified in its letter that Weiss had complete control over the Hunter Biden investigation but did not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/doj-backs-david-weiss-and-says-hes-open-to-meeting-with-house-judiciary-at-appropriate-time\/\" title=\"DOJ supports David Weiss, open to meeting House Judiciary 'when appropriate'.\">request <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/former-ag-bill-barr-to-merrick-garland-appoint-a-special-counsel-already\/\" title=\"Former AG Bill Barr To Merrick Garland: Appoint A Special Counsel Already\">special counsel status<\/a><\/a>. However, he was assured that he would be granted this authority if necessary.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>The DOJ reiterated Weiss&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<h3>Read More:<\/h3>\n<p>For more information, click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">here<\/a> to read the full article from the Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>the request of Republican members.
