Another Whistleblower Comes Forward to Allege Administration Interference and Favoritism in the Hunter Biden Corruption Cover-Up

US Attorney David Weiss is now sought for questioning. He previously wrote that he wasn't "in charge" of the sham investigation of Hunter Biden, but had to "follow procedures" dictated to him by the DOJ, but then three weeks ago wrote to Congress he is in charge.

This is part of Merrick Garland's ongoing refusal to appoint an independent prosecutor, claiming that man who answers to him, and answers to Joe Biden, is just as independent as an independent prosecutor would be.

Obviously not -- or he'd have appointed one two years ago.

House Republicans want to interview Weiss and Merrick Garland about this fake investigation.

Whistleblower allegations have given House Republicans fresh incentive to look into how the Justice Department handled its investigation into Hunter Biden.

What's happening: The DOJ has asserted that Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney David Weiss had full authority over the probe into the president's son -- ultimately resulting in a plea deal that Republicans have labeled a "sweetheart" agreement. But whistleblower testimony has suggested Weiss encountered more interference from leaders at the Justice Department, and accuses the DOJ and Weiss' office of hampering an IRS investigation into the first son's taxes.

What has Weiss said so far? In a June 7 letter to Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Weiss vowed that the DOJ had given him "ultimate authority" over the investigation "including responsibility for deciding where, when, and whether to file charges and for making decisions necessary to preserve the integrity of the prosecution."

The GOP's bigger picture: The letter is the latest example of Republicans' multi-pronged investigation into not only the Justice Department, but specifically how the DOJ conducted the Hunter Biden investigation.

Republicans are likely to call on Weiss to testify publicly -- though Jordan previously said he and Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) are formally waiting for Hunter Biden's arraignment to determine a next step. The two GOP lawmakers are hoping to get clarity on what piece of the federal investigation remains "ongoing," since Hunter Biden's lawyer has asserted the plea deal concludes the federal probe into his client.

Meanwhile, Jordan and Ways and Means Chair Jason Smith (R-Mo.) also sent a letter to two government watchdogs as they probe the allegations of potential retaliation against the IRS whistleblowers.
