US Attorney David Weiss stated on Friday that he has “limited” ability to pursue Hunter Biden in Washington, DC, and California. This directly contradicts what the disgraced US Attorney General Merrick Garland said during testimony before Congress.
IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley testified before Congress that the Department of Justice (DOJ) stopped Weiss from charging Hunter Biden in Washington, DC, and California.
The New York Times corroborated Shapley’s statement on Tuesday, reporting that the DOJ’s policies require Weiss to acquire clearance and cooperation from the U.S. attorneys in California and Washington, DC, before proceeding with charges in their respective districts.
“If venue for a case lies elsewhere, common Departmental practice is to contact the United States Attorney’s Office for the district in question and determine whether it wants to partner on the case,” Weiss told House Republicans.
Weiss further stated that if those attorneys deny his request, he may seek special attorney status in order to charge Hunter Biden. “If not, I may request Special Attorney status from the Attorney General,” Weiss added, without specifying whether he did so with Attorney General Merrick Garland.
“I have been assured that, if necessary after the above process, I would be granted” that authority in “the District of Columbia, the Central District of California, or any other district where charges could be brought in this matter,” he added.

In contrast, Garland claims that Weiss had complete authority to file charges against the president’s son, citing a letter Weiss delivered to Congress claiming complete control over the probe. None of that matters. Garland was asked if Weiss was blocked from charging Hunter Biden multiple times and he responded that Weiss had complete authority without asking the question. To think and compartmentalize like a woke progressive tyrant, you could state that Weiss was given complete authority even though you gave the order that he couldn’t charge Hunter Biden, and so long as you didn’t answer that particular question with a yes or no, you would believe that you didn’t commit perjury. He locked him in the jurisdiction of Delaware and wouldn’t let him use California or DC because those US Attorneys would play ball with the Biden regime.
Garland’s statements disregard his March statement to Congress, in which he stated that any potential charges would require his authorization. “I would then have to authorize it and permit it to be brought in another jurisdiction & that is what I promised I would do,” he explained.
According to IRS agent Shapley, Weiss requested a special counsel from Garland, but Garland declined to select one. The special counsel may have put some distance between President Joe Biden and his Department of Justice. For now, it looks like Garland wanted to keep decision-making within his purview.
