US Special counsel that investigated Hunter Biden criticizes President Joe Biden in final report



The Justice Department special counsel whose six-year case into Hunter Biden (Pictured above) was cut last month by the unconditional pardon US President Joe Biden granted to his son, criticized the outgoing president in his final report released Monday, January 13.

Special counsel David Weiss chastised President Biden as part of the 280-page report for making “gratuitous and wrong” accusations that his long-running investigation was unfair and tainted by politics.

Biden, when pardoning his son last month, had said Hunter Biden was the victim of a “selective” prosecution that was “unfair” and a “miscarriage of justice.”
 

“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,” Weiss said in the report.


“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,” he added.


The report stated that “politicians who attack the decisions of career prosecutors as politically motivated when they disagree with the outcome of a case undermine the public’s confidence in our criminal justice system. The President’s statements unfairly impugn the integrity not only of Department of Justice personnel, but all of the public servants making these difficult decisions in good faith.”



Weiss also quoted the federal judge who presided over Hunter Biden’s tax case, who rebuked the president on similar grounds after he issued the blanket pardon, accusing him of “rewriting history.”


Joe Biden made false and inaccurate claims in an interview with USA Today earlier this month to justify the pardon saying the facts of Hunter Biden’s gun case were contradicted by the evidence and testimony at trial.

The president’s pardon shielded his son from any prosecution stemming from any federal crimes he may have committed between 2014 and December 2024. Therefore, “in light of this pardon,” Weiss said he didn’t include any legal analysis in his report about “whether additional charges were warranted” beyond the 12 tax and gun crimes he charged Hunter Biden within 2023.


During Weiss’ investigation, he made history by becoming the first prosecutor in American history to file criminal charges against the son of a sitting president. Hunter Biden was convicted by a jury on three counts related to his unlawful purchase and possession of a gun while abusing illicit drugs.


In a statement Monday, Hunter Biden’s lawyer, Abbe Lowell said, “What is clear from this report is that the investigation into Hunter Biden is a cautionary tale of the abuse of prosecutorial power.”


Lowell blasted several of Weiss’ key decisions, including his attempt in 2023 to wind down the probe with a negotiated plea agreement. That deal imploded after scrutiny from a federal judge and top Republican lawmakers.
 

“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,” he said.
 

In the report, Weiss said he “ignored” politicians who repeatedly weighed in on his investigation of Hunter Biden and focused instead on “the facts and the law” while prosecuting the president’s son.

“I also never considered whether my decisions would be viewed favourably or unfavourably by any politicians,” Weiss wrote. “And when politicians expressed opinions about my conduct, I ignored them because they were irrelevant. Simply put, my decisions were based on the facts and the law and nothing else.”
 

Weiss had investigated Hunter Biden since 2018 when he was the Donald Trump-appointed US attorney for Delaware. After Joe Biden became president, he kept Weiss to finish his work, even while replacing almost all other US attorneys.
 

Attorney General Merrick Garland elevated Weiss to “special counsel” in 2023 after the proposed Hunter Biden plea deal fell apart in court.


In an opening note at the beginning of the report, Weiss thanked Garland for “allowing (his) Office to conduct its investigations and prosecutions independently.” The note pushes back on GOP allegations that Garland, a Biden appointee, had meddled in the probe to protect the Bidens.

 
Weiss charged two people during his investigation: Hunter Biden and Alexander Smirnov, a former FBI informant who falsely accused Hunter and his father of taking $10 million in bribes from Ukraine. House Republicans used those claims to bolster their failed impeachment push.
 

Smirnov was sentenced last week to six years in prison. Hunter Biden was never sentenced for those crimes, because he was pardoned by his father after the November election, short-circuiting the court process.
