This \u2062revelation has raised concerns \u200babout Weiss&#8217;s impartiality, leading a spokesman for House Judiciary \u2062Committee chairman Jim Jordan to question his trustworthiness.<\/p>\n<p>Beau Biden, who was Delaware&#8217;s \u200b<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-ag-barr-authorizes-federal-prosecutors-to-pursue-substantial-allegations-of-voting-irregularities-before-2020-election-is-certified\/\" title=\"BREAKING: AG Barr Authorizes Federal Prosecutors to Pursue \"Substantial Allegations\" of Voting Irregularities Before 2020 Election is Certified\">attorney general<\/a> \u200cat the time, and Weiss worked together \u2064on various cases during Weiss&#8217;s tenure as \u2064the state&#8217;s acting U.S. attorney. One\u2063 notable case they collaborated on was a 2010 fraud conviction.

However, this plan \u2063changed after IRS whistleblowers\u2064 alleged that the department\u200d was\u2062 obstructing its \u2063own investigation to protect\u2062 the Bidens from scrutiny.<\/p>\n<p>Weiss eventually offered Hunter Biden a \u200cplea deal for gun and tax charges, which would have likely allowed him\u200d to <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.

However, the deal unexpectedly <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/biden-administration\/justice-department-agrees-to-grant-hunter-biden-broad-legal-immunity-in-new-plea-agreement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">collapsed<\/a> last month, and a revised version offering Biden broad immunity was rejected by Judge Maryellen Noreika.

Hines, who serves as \u2063Weiss&#8217;s special assistant \u200bin the \u200cBiden probe,\u200b previously worked as special counsel to Louis Freeh, a former FBI director who had business dealings with Hunter Biden. Freeh\u2064 also made donations to a college trust\u2063 for Joe Biden&#8217;s grandchildren and joined the board of the Beau Biden \u2064Foundation, as reported by the <em>Washington Free Beacon<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Attorney General Merrick Garland, who initially dismissed the need for a \u2062special counsel in the Hunter Biden\u2062 probe, appointed Weiss as special counsel on August 11.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hunter Biden and David Weiss, a former U.S. attorney, had a professional relationship as Weiss worked closely with Hunter&#8217;s late brother Beau.
