Attorney General Merrick Garland did not respond to questions at a hearing Wednesday about allegations the Department of Justice allowed the statute of limitations for potential charges against Hunter Biden to expire.
Garland, facing accusations from House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan on the matter, deferred to special counsel David Weiss, the lead prosecutor in the case against President Joe Biden's son.You will “at the appropriate time” be able to ask Weiss about it, Garland told Jordan, adding, “I don’t know the answer to those questions.”
When questioned by Rep. Mike Johnson , Attorney General Merrick Garland says he has not interfered in U.S. Attorney David Weiss' investigation into Hunter Biden.— CSPAN September 20, 2023 Republicans have been angling to speak to Weiss about the issue, but the status of the Hunter Biden case as"ongoing" as well as Weiss's recently granted special counsel authority, have so far insulated the DOJ from answering direct questions about the IRS whistleblowers' claims.
Jordan suggested Weiss had intentionally allowed statutes of limitations to lapse, saying to Garland, “But Burisma, oh my, that goes right to the White House. We can’t have that.”
