Reps. Chris Stewart and Blake Moore are among 95 House Republicans who signed a letter calling for Attorney General Merrick Garland to appoint a special counsel to investigate the foreign business dealings of President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter.
says an independent counsel is needed to ensure the investigation is free of political entanglements.
“We believe that in the case of Hunter Biden, a Special Counsel must be appointed to preserve the integrity of this investigation and any subsequent prosecution. A Special Counsel would also ensure there is no bias in the investigation or undue influence from the White House,” the letter reads. House members point out Garland was nominated to his current position by President Joe Biden, which could create a conflict of interest. They argue Garland should apply the same standard that led to the Mueller investigation into former President Donald Trump’s campaign.
“President Trump and his Administration endured closer scrutiny from the Department of Justice for lesser accusations. The then-Attorney General appointed a Special Counsel to investigate President Trump based on the Steele Dossier: a salacious and unverified political smear campaign,” they write. “It was argued then that a Special Counsel was necessary because the Department could not be seen to impartially investigate the sitting President. This same standard applies here.
