Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Friday he has appointed a special counsel in the Hunter Biden probe, deepening the investigation of the president’s son ahead of the 2024 election.
Attorney General Merrick Garland delivers remarks about naming a special counsel to take over the Justice Department's investigation into President Biden's son Hunter at the Department of Justice in Washington, Aug. 11, 2023.
Garland said he was naming David Weiss, the U.S. attorney in Delaware who has been probing the financial and business dealings of President Joe Biden’s son, as the special counsel.Just as his appointment as special counsel was announced, Weiss notified a federal judge in Delaware that plea deal talks in the Hunter Biden case were at an “impasse.”
The move is a momentous development from the typically cautious Garland and comes amid a pair of sweeping Justice Department probes into former President Donald Trump, who’s Joe Biden’s chief rival in next year’s election. It also comes as House Republicans are mounting their own investigation into Hunter Biden’s business dealings.
