U.S. Attorney Denies He Sought Special Counsel Status

“David Weiss, the U.S. attorney from Delaware overseeing the federal criminal investigation into Hunter Biden, is denying allegations from an IRS whistleblower that he sought special counsel status but was blocked by senior Justice Department officials,” Punchbowl News reports.

“Weiss’ statement, made in a letter to Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), appears to undermine one of the major claims made by the whistleblower, Gary Shapley. Shapley told House Ways and Means Committee investigators that Weiss reportedly informed IRS and FBI agents during an Oct. 7, 2022, meeting that he sought special counsel status but was denied.”
