The federal prosecutor tasked with investigating Hunter Biden told at least six witnesses last year that he did not have authority to charge the first son outside Delaware and had been denied special counsel status, according to an Internal Revenue Service whistleblower’s legal team — contradicting sworn testimony from Attorney General Merrick Garland.
Delaware US Attorney David Weiss made the shocking statement during an Oct. 7, 2022, meeting with IRS investigators and FBI agents, IRS supervisor Gary Shapley told the House Ways and Means Committee last month.
“He surprised us by telling us on the charges, ‘I’m not the deciding official on whether charges are filed,'” Shapley recalled during his May 26 testimony.
“He then shocked us with the earth-shattering news that the Biden-appointed D.C. U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves would not allow him to charge in his district,” added Shapley, who later explained that Graves’ denial meant that Hunter, now 53, would not face charges in connection with alleged actions he took in 2014 and 2015, including “foreign income from Burisma [Holdings] and a scheme to evade his income taxes through a partnership with a convicted felon.”
