WASHINGTON − Attorney General Merrick Garland on Friday appointed a special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden.
Garland announced that David Weiss, the federal prosecutor in Delaware that has been leading the investigating into Hunter Biden’s business dealings, will serve as special counsel.
The move marks a significant turn in the Justice Department’s ongoing investigation of Hunter Biden, whose plea deal with prosecutors to resolve tax evasion and gun charges unraveled in court last month.
This is a developing story.
