US prosecutor defends Hunter Biden investigation after president's criticism of justice system integrity

ai generated text

David Weiss, the special counsel leading the probe into Hunter Biden, released a report accusing the outgoing president of undermining the justice system by claiming the prosecution was selective and unfair. Weiss calls his prosecution of Joe Biden's son "impartial" and "not partisan politics." He argues that the president's claims undermine the rule of law. The report is the culmination of years-long investigations into Hunter Biden that predated the arrival of Attorney General Merrick Garland.

    1. No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter's cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son — and that is wrong.
    2. In trying to break Hunter, they've tried to break me - and there's no reason to believe it will stop here. Enough is enough.
    3. There has been an effort to break Hunter - who has been five and a half years sober, even in the face of unrelenting attacks and selective prosecution.

    1. Far from selective, these prosecutions were the embodiment of the equal application of justice — no matter who you are, or what your last name is, you are subject to the same laws as everyone else in the United States.
    2. The president's characterizations are incorrect based on the facts in this case, and, on a more fundamental level, they are wrong.
    3. I prosecuted the two cases against [Hunter] Biden because he broke the law.
    4. Other presidents have pardoned family members, but in doing so, none have taken the occasion as an opportunity to malign the public servants at the Department of Justice based solely on false accusations.
    5. It erodes public confidence in an institution that is essential to preserving the rule of law.
    6. These prosecutions were the culmination of thorough, impartial investigations, not partisan politics.

    1. What is clear from this report is that the investigation into Hunter Biden is a cautionary tale of the abuse of prosecutorial power.
    2. Mr. Weiss also fails to explain why he reneged on his own agreement, a reversal that came at the 11th hour in court as he and his office faced blistering attacks from Republicans.
