DOJ Declined Special Counsel Request to Prosecute Hunter Biden in 2022  Updated: 1 day ago

The U.S. attorney for Delaware, however, insisted in his voluntary testimony before the House Judiciary Committee earlier this week that he had finally obtained the authority to bring charges against the 53-year-old first son in California and Washington, DC – jurisdictions that refused to partner with Weiss – should he “choose to do so.”

Throughout his testimony, which occurred behind closed doors and was the product of negotiations between congressional and Justice Department officials, Weiss said he could not answer numerous questions about decisions made over the course of the years-long probe into the president's son, citing federal norms that prevent prosecutors from speaking about investigations before they are completed.
