The Justice Department has appointed Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss as a special counsel to oversee the investigation into President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden. Weiss was appointed by former President Donald Trump and kept on by President Biden, and the appointment of Weiss as special counsel will ensure that he has the authority to conduct a thorough investigation independently and based only on the facts and the law. It is unclear when the investigation will be completed or what the outcome may be.
