The Republican chair of the House Intelligence Committee has accused the special counsel investigating Hunter Biden of ‘prosecutorial misconduct’, claiming that David Weiss deliberately allowed potential charges to expire.
Mike Turner said he had serious doubts about Weiss, a Trump-appointed U.S. attorney for Delaware, who for the past five years has been investigating Joe Biden’s son.
Weiss on Friday was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland as special counsel – a move which gives him broader day-to-day independence from supervision than previously, and which is designed to remove any suggestion that Weiss was being leant on by the White House.
Yet Turner told CBS News on Sunday morning that he did not have confidence in Weiss’s commitment to the case.
‘The concern here with Weiss being special counsel is that he was the one that allowed the statute limitations to expire on some very critical felony charges that could have been brought against Hunter Biden,’ said Turner.
