Hunter Biden prosecutor David Weiss says Justice officials never blocked him
In rare testimony to Congress by a special counsel, the Delaware prosecutor defends the handling of the politically sensitive case

David Weiss, the federal prosecutor tapped to serve as special counsel investigating Hunter Biden, testified Tuesday behind closed doors to a House committee, telling lawmakers that he has had full authority over the case and has not been overruled at any point by other Justice Department officials.
It is highly unusual for the Justice Department to make a special counsel available for questioning by Congress before an investigation is complete. Weiss did so in large part to address lingering concerns raised by two IRS agents on the Biden case who earlier this year accused Weiss and other Justice Department officials of slow-walking their work. One of the agents said Weiss told him he wasn’t the decision-maker in the case.
Weiss, the U.S. attorney in Delaware, has disputed that claim and did so again in his opening statement to the House Judiciary Committee.
“I am, and have been, the decision-maker on this case,” Weiss told the panel, according to a written copy of his opening remarks. “I do not, however, make these decisions in a vacuum. I am bound by federal law, the principles of federal prosecution and DOJ guidelines. As a result, there are processes that I must adhere to in making investigative and charging decisions. These processes did not interfere with my decision-making authority. At no time was I blocked, or otherwise prevented from pursuing charges or taking the steps necessary in the investigation by other United States Attorneys, the Tax Division or anyone else at the Department of Justice.”
