According to an ABC News\/Ipsos survey, \u200b48% of U.S. adults expressed &#8220;Not so\/Not confident at all&#8221; \u200bwhen asked about their confidence in the Department of \u200dJustice&#8217;s handling of the inquiry in a &#8220;fair and nonpartisan manner&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>This \u2063figure, which represents a &#8220;plurality&#8221; of Americans \u200bas described by ABC News, reflects a &#8220;wave&#8221; period of August 15-16. This period coincided with Attorney \u200cGeneral Merrick Garland&#8217;s decision to elevate \u200bDelaware&#8217;s U.S. Attorney David Weiss to <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>. It is worth noting that this\u200b percentage is slightly higher than the previous wave period of August 2-3, during which 46%\u2062 of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cdc-warns-of-emerging-illness-caused-by-tick-bite-that-causes-potentially-life-threatening-allergy-to-red-meat\/\" title=\"CDC warns of new tick-borne illness causing severe meat allergy.\">respondents lacked confidence<\/a>\u2062 in \u200bthe investigation.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the number of Americans who expressed being &#8220;very&#8221; or &#8220;somewhat&#8221; confident dropped\u2062 from 35% to 32% across the two \u2062poll waves.<\/p>\n<h3>Republican Criticism and Democratic Defense<\/h3>\n<p>Republicans have criticized Garland&#8217;s appointment of Weiss \u200bas special counsel, suggesting that it was an \u200dattempt to hinder congressional investigations\u200d into the Bidens. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy emphasized that the appointment\u200d should not obstruct ongoing investigations into the Biden family&#8217;s alleged\u200d corruption.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Democrats in \u200cCongress \u2062have defended \u2064the Department of Justice, arguing that Republicans have provided no evidence of wrongdoing by President Biden. They claim that the \u2063GOP is using \u2063these investigations as a distraction from criminal inquiries into former President \u2064Donald \u200dTrump.<\/p>\n<p>The special counsel \u200bappointment has been hailed by \u200cDemocrats as\u2064 a demonstration of\u2063 the Department of Justice&#8217;s independence. Rep. Dan Goldman \u2062praised the decision, highlighting the true independence \u200cof \u200bthe department.<\/p>\n<p>Senate \u2064Majority \u200bLeader Chuck Schumer dismissed the GOP investigations, stating that \u200bthey\u2064 are of no significance to the \u200daverage American.<\/p>\n<h3>Legal Battles and Whistleblower Allegations<\/h3>\n<p>Hunter \u2064Biden, \u200cwho \u2062pleaded not guilty to tax charges in Delaware, is now facing a clash with prosecutors \u200cover a pretrial diversion agreement on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/us-attorney-says-hunter-biden-probe-ongoing-despite-plea-deal\/\" title=\"US Attorney: Hunter Biden Probe Continues Despite Plea Deal\">felony firearm offense<\/a>. \u2063The collapse of their \u200bplea deal has raised questions about the survival of this agreement.
