Lawmakers React to Special Counsel Being Appointed to Investigate Hunter Biden | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Lawmakers are reacting to Attorney General Merrick Garland naming a special counsel to investigate the Biden family business. Democrats say the move increases transparency. Republicans accuse David Weiss of trying to give Hunter Biden a "sweetheart" plea deal that later fell apart. Top House Republicans are accusing the Biden Administration of attempting to stymie their investigation into Hunter Biden following the Justice Department's appointment of the special counsel. Oversight Committee Chair James Comer and Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan say Weiss cannot be trusted. Both lawmakers made separate statements with Congressman James Comer writing, "The Biden Justice Department is trying to stonewall Congressional oversight as we have presented evidence to the American people about the Biden family's corruption;" and Congressman Jim Jordan writing, "Weiss has already signed off on a sweetheart plea deal that was so awful and unfair that a federal judge rejected it." However, Democrats praised the decision as a step forward.
