JUST IN: Key Detail In New Testimony Spells More Doom For Hunter Biden

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) revealed to reporters Wednesday that during Tuesday’s testimony, the special counsel and Delaware U.S. Attorney investigating Hunter Biden did not have the full authority he requested in 2022.

Indeed Weiss stated that he didn’t receive Special counsel authority until it was given to him by Congress over a year later. This directly contradicts testimony from Attorney General Merrick Garland and vindicates IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley.

As posted to X by the House Judiciary GOP, Jordan told reporters,

“When he was specifically asked, did you ever request special attorney authority under Section 515, Mr. Weiss’s response was yes, in the spring of 2022. So that that goes to the heart of the matter.

He requested it was not given that request and never had that authority throughout the time and yet he pretends that somehow he did have that.

And then finally, of course, on [August] of this year, he gets special counsel status when he requests that from the Attorney General.”


Jordan added that the revelation “is entirely consistent with what Mr. Shapley said after the October 7, 2022 meeting, when he said USA Weiss requested Special Counsel authority when it was sent to DC and Main DOJ denied his request and told him to follow the process.”

Jordan took to X himself citing testimony from Acting Deputy Assistant Attorney General Stuart Goldberg. He wrote, “Stuart Goldberg told us that the Hunter Biden case received “closer supervision” than most cases — and required high-level approval to bring charges. Why not just treat Hunter like every other American? What happened to equal treatment under the law?”

He added in another post, “David Weiss knew he didn’t really have authority to charge Hunter Biden. But he kept saying he had “ultimate authority.” Why not just be honest?

As reported by The New York Post, Goldberg told the committee that any “sensitive” cases such as one’s involving the President’s son required an “ultimate sign-off” at his level of the DOJ in order to bring charges which directly refutes Attorney General Merrick Garland’s September testimony when he claimed that Weiss had “ultimate authority.”

This was confirmed by IRS Agent Darrell Waldon in September as previously reported by Trending Politics.

The Post’s Editorial Board noted in September that the testimony could implicate Garland not merely in perjury before Congress, but potentially in obstruction of justice.

The Post also reminded readers that  Ways & Means chair Rep. Jason Smith (R-Mo.) told reporters Weiss had moved to charge Biden in 2022 in both Washington, D.C. and California. It would appear that the “ultimate sign-off” Goldberg mentioned was denied in both cases.
