DOJ Official Confirms Weiss Required High-Level Approval for Hunter Biden Probe Charges

Senior official's testimony confirms probe into Hunter Biden was labeled "significant", contradicting AG Merrick Garland's earlier assertions and revealing a higher level of oversight and control exercised by the Department of Justice.

Acting Deputy Assistant Attorney General for the DOJ Tax Division, Stuart Goldberg, has confirmed that Special Counsel David Weiss needed approval from his unit at the Justice Department before bringing charges in the Hunter Biden probe.
Goldberg's testimony corroborates whistleblower allegations that politics influenced prosecutorial decisions throughout the federal investigation into Hunter Biden, conflicting with Attorney General Merrick Garland's previous assertions.
The Department of Justice has maintained a higher level of oversight and control over the investigation into Hunter Biden, contradicting the notion that Weiss had 'ultimate authority' in the case.
Despite being granted special counsel status, Weiss still required approval from the DOJ Tax Division for bringing charges in the Hunter Biden case.
These revelations may contribute to ongoing scrutiny regarding potential political interference in the Hunter Biden case and the role of the DOJ in maintaining checks and balances in such high-profile investigations.
