A second U.S. attorney has testified to Congress that the prosecutor overseeing the Hunter Biden investigation had full authority over filing charges, rebutting whistleblower claims that U.S. Attorney David Weiss didn't have the final say on the case against the president's son.
A second U.S. attorney has testified to Congress that the prosecutor overseeing the Hunter Biden investigation had full authority over filing charges, rebutting whistleblower claims that U.S. Attorney David Weiss of Delaware didn't have the final say on the case against the president's son.
Martin Estrada, the U.S. attorney in Los Angeles, said he told the House Judiciary Committee behind closed doors Tuesday that he understood that Weiss had full authority to bring charges and offered him logistical support. "I did not and could not 'block' Mr. Weiss since he did not need my approval to bring charges in my district," he said in a statement.
An attorney for IRS agent Joseph Ziegler, on the other hand, said declining to partner with Weiss amounted to blocking him from going forward with the case outside his district. Lawyers for supervisory special agent Gary Shapley said U.S. attorneys appointed by President Joe Biden "shouldn't have been involved at all because of their conflict of interest."
