The prosecutor who led the investigation into Hunter Biden has publicly defended the integrity of the probe, calling it “thorough adn impartial,” while criticizing President Joe Biden for his remarks about the case. The controversy stems from the president’s decision to pardon his son, which the prosecutor claims undermined the justice system.
In a report released Monday, the prosecutor, David Weiss, stated that the charges against Hunter Biden were the result of a meticulous and unbiased investigation. “The charges were the culmination of thorough, impartial investigations, not partisan politics,” Weiss emphasized. His comments come in response to President Biden’s criticism of the Justice Department’s handling of the case, which Weiss argues has damaged public trust in the legal system.
Hunter Biden faced felony charges for tax evasion and gun-related offenses, which were part of a years-long investigation led by Weiss. The case has been a lightning rod for political debate,with critics accusing the president of using his influence to shield his son from accountability.

In his report, Weiss accused the president of “maligning the Justice Department” by suggesting that the prosecution of his son was politically motivated. “Such criticism undermines the justice system,” Weiss wrote, adding that it erodes public confidence in the rule of law.The report has reignited debates over the independence of the Justice Department and the role of political influence in high-profile cases. critics of the president argue that his decision to pardon Hunter Biden raises questions about accountability, while supporters contend that the move was justified given the circumstances.
