David Weiss Reaffirms “Ultimate Authority” to Bring Charges Against Hunter Biden in Any Jurisdiction

David Weiss, the U.S. Attorney for Delaware, has stated that he has “ultimate authority” to bring charges against Hunter Biden in any jurisdiction. This statement comes after an IRS whistleblower alleged that Weiss said he couldn’t bring charges against Hunter Biden outside of Delaware, contrary to statements from U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland.

In response to the allegations, Weiss wrote a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) in which he stated, “I stand by what I wrote.”

The comments from former South Carolina Governor and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, who is now a GOP presidential candidate, have added to the controversy. Haley said that congressional Republicans “absolutely should” start the impeachment process for President Joe Biden over whistleblower allegations that there was meddling in a government investigation of his son Hunter.

The chairs of the House Oversight, Judiciary and Ways and Means committees have requested documents from the Justice Department and the IRS related to the investigation into Hunter Biden.

Weiss denied that he had been hamstrung by the Justice Department in a statement on Friday. He said that he still has “ultimate authority” to bring charges against Hunter Biden in any jurisdiction.

The controversy surrounding Hunter Biden and the allegations of interference in the investigation have raised questions about whether or not congressional Republicans should start the impeachment process for President Joe Biden. While Nikki Haley believes they should, the Justice Department and IRS have yet to provide the requested documents.
