Constitutional lawyer Jonathan Turley on Friday laid out the problems with the claims from prosecutor David Weiss, who has said he was not held back from prosecuting Hunter Biden.
Weiss oversaw the federal investigation into Hunter that ended with a plea deal for the president’s son June 20. Since then, Internal Revenue Service (IRS) whistleblower Gary Shapley has come forward with allegations that Weiss did not have full control over the investigation, an assertion Weiss later denied in a letter sent to House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan. Shapley alleged Attorney General Merrick Garland and IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel lied to Congress about the Hunter Biden probe.
“So, I just want to remind viewers from a week ago, Weiss, the prosecutor out of Delaware, sent a letter to Jim Jordan, and he seemed to outline his defense in four different parts. You have seen that letter. Do you have questions about the letter or do they satisfy you? And then I’ll ask you specifically about it, too,” host Bill Hemmer asked.
“No, there is nothing to be satisfied with because there’s no answers in the letter. That is, what Weiss is saying is, ‘I was given this authority,’ but doesn’t deal with the specific allegations of these whistleblowers. We have numerous witnesses, and other witnesses who are named in these accounts, who were present at a meeting where Weiss allegedly said that he was not the final decision maker, that he had tried to become a special counsel and was denied, and they were also told that the charges were attempted in California and D.C., but rebuffed by those U.S. Attorneys,” Turley said.
