Special counsel who prosecuted Hunter Biden defends investigation

Politico  

The president said on several occasions during the legal saga that he would not pardon his son. “No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son — and that is wrong.” Hunter Biden’s lawyers also frequently argued in court that the charges against him were “selective” and “vindictive.” Both federal judges who handled the cases rejected the efforts by defense attorneys to have the charges dismissed on that basis and one of the judges railed publicly against the president’s claims about the treatment of his son. The release of Weiss’ report comes as Washington eagerly awaits a different special counsel report: the one produced by Jack Smith on his two criminal probes of Donald Trump. The most pointed passages of Weiss’ report are his responses to the president’s assertions that his son was the victim of a political vendetta that prosecutors at the Justice Department acquiesced in and helped advance. Weiss alluded in his report to the possibility of other charges against the president’s son, but said the scope of the pardon precluded the possibility.
