Ashley Oliver
United States Attorney David Weiss, who has led the federal investigation into Hunter Biden, will appear for a congressional hearing, three House chairmen confirmed Friday.
Reps. Jim Jordan (R-OH), James Comer (R-KY), and Jason Smith (R-MO) revealed in a letter that the Department of Justice informed congressional staff on a recent teleconference that Weiss would participate in a hearing with the House Judiciary Committee at a date to be determined.
In the letter, addressed to Attorney General Merrick Garland, the three chairmen reiterated their demand that the attorney general also arrange for nearly a dozen other DOJ witnesses to meet with the committee before it meets with Weiss.
Weiss, after a yearslong investigation involving the FBI and IRS, brought two misdemeanor tax charges and one felony gun charge against President Joe Biden's son in June in anticipation of sealing a plea deal with him in court on July 26.
