Hunter Biden Special Counsel David Weiss to Testify Before House Judiciary Committee Over Investigation Conduct

Weiss to Testify Amid Claims of Mishandling and Favoritism in Probe, Examining Allegations of Hunter Biden Receiving Preferential Treatment During DOJ Investigation

Special Counsel David Weiss, leading the case against Hunter Biden, agreed to testify before the House Judiciary Committee on November 7, addressing allegations of mishandling and favoritism in the probe.
Hunter Biden was charged with three felony gun charges and two misdemeanor tax counts in Delaware which were part of a plea deal that fell through in court negotiations.
Weiss, a Trump appointee, was named special counsel by Attorney General Merrick Garland, giving him more authority to carry out the investigation into Biden.
In his role as special counsel, Weiss has significant authority over the Hunter Biden investigation, a fact he emphasized in written responses to allegations that his investigation was slow or mishandled.
The plea deal between Weiss and Hunter Biden, that initially involved probation for tax and gun charges, suddenly collapsed after scrutiny from District Judge Maryellen Noreika, leading Weiss to indict Hunter Biden on felony gun charges.
