Top Prosecutor in Hunter Biden Probe Is ‘Evenhanded’

October 12, 2022 · 2:36 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“The U.S. attorney overseeing the long-running investigation into President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, has a depth of experience in handling politically sensitive cases and built a reputation as an evenhanded prosecutor,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

David Weiss, “nominated by then President Donald Trump, was confirmed in 2018 to be Delaware’s U.S. attorney. While Attorney General Merrick Garland has replaced most of Mr. Trump’s appointees to U.S. attorney posts, he has kept Mr. Weiss, allowing him to continue heading the politically charged probe.”
