When it comes to the accusations against President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, the US Justice Department has made a big move.

The selection of a special counsel on Friday demonstrates the gravity of the situation and the need to conduct an exhaustive inquiry.

Following an ongoing investigation into Hunter Biden’s tax and gun charges, a matter that has drawn much attention, Attorney General Merrick Garland decided to name Delaware federal prosecutor David Weiss.

Hunter Biden has been the subject of investigations across countries, a development that underlines the difficulties of conducting business internationally.

His involvement in business ventures in China, Ukraine, and other countries during and after his father’s vice presidency has raised eyebrows and triggered a congressional inquiry.

 

The appointment of David Weiss as a special counsel signals a broader effort to uncover the truth behind these allegations.

The decision to grant special counsel status to David Weiss was driven by exceptional circumstances and a commitment to transparency.

Weiss, who initiated his investigation in 2019, has expanded the scope of his inquiry, leading to the request for special counsel status.

Attorney General Garland’s endorsement of this status emphasizes the importance of independent and unbiased investigation, serving the interests of justice and the public.

“The appointment of Weiss reaffirms that he has the authority he needs to conduct a thorough investigation and to continue to take the steps he deems appropriate independently based only on the facts and the law,” Garland said.

The investigation has also brought to light allegations of political influence and favoritism.

Hunter Biden’s former business associate’s claim that the president was involved in communication with foreign partners has ignited a debate over the ethical boundaries of political power.

The assertion that Joe Biden used his position to aid his son’s business pursuits has been vehemently denied by the president, setting the stage for a complex and contentious legal examination.

The timing of these developments is noteworthy, given Joe Biden’s potential bid for re-election and the specter of a rematch with former president Donald Trump.

The political landscape is further complicated by the ongoing investigation into Trump’s actions, overseen by another Justice Department special counsel.
