A former IRS employee has testified to the House Ways and Means Committee that U.S. Attorney David Weiss sought authority to charge Hunter Biden with charges beyond the tax-related misdemeanors he agreed to plead guilty to this week. The whistleblower alleges that Attorney General Merrick Garland was not being truthful when he testified that Weiss had the authority to charge in other jurisdictions. Hunter Biden's plea deal with Weiss includes avoiding full prosecution on a separate gun possession charge. Questions have been raised about the Biden administration's handling of the investigation and whether Weiss had the authority to bring charges in other jurisdictions.
