The U.S. attorney for the Central District of California declined to help investigators prosecute Hunter Biden for tax fraud because his office had limited resources, he testified this week.
House investigators grilled Biden-appointee Martin Estrada about his decision not to partner with Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss in prosecuting the president’s son over his failure to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes in California.
“We were very resource-strapped,” Mr. Estrada explained to investigators on the House Judiciary Committee, which interviewed him on Oct. 24. “We were trying to hire as much as possible and had very limited resources. And every attorney you assign to a case means you can’t do another case.” Mr. Estrada is one of two U.S. attorneys who refused to partner with Mr. Weiss on charging Hunter Biden for failing to pay his taxes.
Mr. Graves refused to tell lawmakers why he made that decision, citing an ongoing investigation. He also declined to provide the names of the individuals in his office who worked on the decision with him.
