House Judiciary Committee: David Weiss appointment as special counsel in DOJ’s Hunter Biden probe a COVER-UP TACTIC

The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, led by Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.), issued a statement accusing the DOJ of attempting to cover up evidence of the alleged involvement of Joe Biden in his son’s financial dealings with foreign entities. He then pledged to join forces with the House Judiciary Committee to uncover any misconduct within the Justice Department and ensure accountability for those misusing law enforcement powers.

The House Judiciary Committee echoed these sentiments, branding the appointment of David Weiss as a cover-up tactic. Russell Dye, a spokesperson for House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), conveyed skepticism. “David Weiss can’t be trusted, and this is just a new way to whitewash the Biden family’s corruption,” Dye said.

The controversy was further fueled by the collapse of a plea deal involving Hunter Biden. The plea deal, which had been arranged by Weiss, fell apart in July during a heated hearing. U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika raised concerns about the unusual linking of tax crimes to resolving felony gun charges, which she deemed “atypical” and “unprecedented.” As a result, the matter is now headed for trial.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and other Republican lawmakers criticized the move as potentially obstructing congressional investigations and undermining transparency. They pointed to the failed plea deal as evidence of Weiss’ questionable judgment and impartiality. (Related: Hunter Biden pleads GUILTY to tax crimes, reaches deal on gun charge.)

Comer’s committee to issue a subpoena for the Bidens if they don’t cooperate

Meanwhile, the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability is set to issue a subpoena to escalate its investigation into the foreign financial dealings of Joe Biden and his family should they decline to voluntarily appear before Congress. The committee is leaving no stone unturned as it delves into the allegations of questionable financial transactions involving Russia, Kazakhstan and Ukraine.

In a recent appearance on “Mornings with Maria,” Comer discussed the progress of the investigation and emphasized the committee’s determination to uncover the truth. “We’re putting together a case, and I think we’ve done that very well,” Comer stated during the interview, shedding light on the meticulous effort behind the scenes.

The committee, which holds a GOP majority, has released bank records suggesting that the Bidens received a minimum of $20 million from various foreign sources. Rep. Comer urged the media and the public to scrutinize the president’s responses regarding the origin and nature of these funds. “Bank records don’t lie,” he asserted.

Despite encountering obstacles from government agencies such as the DOJ, the FBI, the Secret Service and the IRS, as well as legal representatives for the Biden family, the House Committee of Oversight and Accountability remains steadfast in its quest for transparency. Comer spoke of the challenges faced during the investigation, saying: “We’re being obstructed every step of the way.”

The ongoing probe has strained relations between the committee and the Biden administration, as Comer accused the president of propagating falsehoods. The investigation aims to ascertain the veracity of these allegations and achieve a comprehensive understanding of the Bidens’ financial affairs.

Comer underlined the committee’s unwavering commitment to seeing the investigation through to its conclusion. “This is always going to end with the Bidens coming in front of the committee,” he said.
