Hunter Biden’s lawyers vowed to call President Joe Biden as a witness and complained about ex-President Donald Trump’s influence on the DOJ in a trove of newly-leaked documents.
A little over a week ago, Attorney General Merrick Garland dropped a big announcement: he named David Weiss, the Trump-appointed U.S. attorney who has been overseeing the investigation into Hunter Biden — to be special counsel investigating Hunter Biden. The announcement comes weeks after a plea deal on three federal charges — two tax misdemeanors and one gun felony — fell apart, and the same week ex-President Donald Trump faced the first hearing in his federal indictment over January 6.
In a Politico deep-dive on the collapse of the plea deal, Betsy Woodruff Swan reveals she obtained over 300 pages of emails and other documents related to communications between Hunter’s lawyers and the prosecutors.
