Former Trump AG Says US Attorney Believe Hunter Biden Whistleblowers Are Telling Truth

Matthew Whitaker, Trump’s former acting Attorney General from 2018 to 2019, was interviewed by Fox News and gave his opinion that the US Attorney David Weiss, who was tasked with investigating Hunter Biden, know that the whistleblowers who testified to the political interference in the favor of the president’s son happened as per The Daily Caller. Both Attorney General Garland and Biden’s IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel insisted that Weiss had complete independence in his probe of the president’s son and in whether to press charges. Whistleblowers, however, have said this is a lie.

Whitaker commented that “U.S. Attorney Weiss could shut this down just by saying ‘what they’re saying is not true, those conversations didn’t happen,’ but he knows there were at least six witnesses to those conversations, and it is true, he did try to take these charges to other places like D.C. and L.A….He [Weiss] did try to get special counsel status from DOJ and was denied.”

Whitaker added that “Weiss will have a very interesting story to tell and we should wait for him to speak…Congress should demand he come and speak as soon as possible to clear all this up.”

Tristan Leavitt, the president of the organization Empower Oversight Whistleblowers and Research, also produced a piece of evidence that would suggest that Weiss knew that his authority was not total. Leavitt wrote “U.S. Attorney Weiss’s letter confirms exactly what Gary Shapley told Congress: Weiss did not have “full authority” to bring charges, but had to “partner” with relevant U.S. Attorney. Says he’s “been assured” he could get Special Attorney status in future—but hasn’t had it yet.”

Attached to the tweet is 2 pages of a letter send by David Weiss to the House Committee on the Judiciary dated from June 30, 2023.  The key statement in the document was the admission that “[a]s the U.S. Attorney for the District of Delaware, my charging authority is geographically limited to my home district.” Another additional piece of evidence in favor of the whistleblowers appears to be the extremely favorable nature of the plea deal between Hunter Biden and the Department of Justice.

As observed by Robert Barnes, a tax and constitutional lawyer who has practiced law for nearly 25 years, “I confirm how rare & extraordinary the [Hunter Biden] plea deal is. Indeed, the deal violates DOJ Tax official policy, where Biden’s DOJ prohibit prosecutors from even offering this deal to people who did far less than Hunter.”

Barnes further specified that the deal “violates is the “Major Count” policy, and it’s right in the Tax Division manual.”

Barnes also pointed out that the deal could have only been lawfully done if it received the go ahead from the higher ups. “A key: the sweetheart deal given to [Hunter Biden] required the approval of high ranking Biden DOJ officials, by law, as a matter of their delegation rules” wrote Barnes. 

Based on these threads of evidence, the whistleblowers’ testimony has credence.
