U.S. Attorney for Washington, DC, Matthew Graves balked at partnering with then-U.S. Prosecutor David Weiss to bring tax charges in 2022 against Hunter Biden, broadly corroborating IRS whistleblowers’ claims Hunter Biden received preferential treatment.
“Mr. Weiss said that he had an investigation that he had been conducting,” Graves said on October 3 in a congressional testimony reviewed by Breitbart News. “Some of the charges related to that investigation needed to be venued out of the district, and he described the logistical support that he needed.”
Graves said it was “exceedingly rare” to partner with a prosecutor from a separate district. He said a normal situation would necessitate his office taking over the case or outside prosecutors would be granted special attorney status, enabling the case to be prosecuted in the D.C. jurisdiction.
“The challenge is — particularly when you’re talking about US attorney and US attorney — is you’re bringing in another chain of command. And once you’re partnered, you have to reach consensus,” Graves told investigators. “So, as a manager, in general, we don’t want to do that.”
