U.S. attorney David Weiss, who offered Hunter Biden a sweetheart plea deal and is now serving as a special counsel in the Biden investigation, worked for years with Biden’s late brother Beau, the Washington Post reported on Sunday. That’s just another of several connections between Weiss and the Biden family, which led a spokesman for House Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan (R., Ohio) to say that Weiss “can’t be trusted.”
Beau Biden, President Joe Biden’s older son, was serving as Delaware’s attorney general when Weiss in 2009 became the state’s acting U.S. attorney. Weiss served in the position for two years, during which he and Beau Biden “often worked” together on cases, including a 2010 fraud conviction, according to the Post’s report.
At the time, “it also wouldn’t have been strange for Weiss to run into Joe Biden,” the Post reported. Then-vice president Biden and Weiss appeared together at a 2010 ceremony for a Delaware judge.
[I’ve seen this pop up a few times over the past week, but be sure to read this account to discover who else Weiss worked with. Imagine if John Durham had partnered up with Jared Kushner or Rudy Giuliani on legal matters in the past. — Ed]
