“David Weiss can’t be trusted and this is just a new way to whitewash the Biden family’s corruption," a GOP spokesman said.

"Weiss has been investigating Hunter for 4 years, giving him the 'sweetheart' deal of all sweetheart deals," Trump noted.

"We'll be there to actually enforce the law and provide the accountability - not just the vision but the actual accountability."

If Weiss already had "ultimate authority " over the prosecution of Hunter Biden, what was the need to appoint him as special counsel?

Weiss offered Hunter Biden a plea deal for tax and other charges that fell apart when a judge refused to sign off on it last month.

Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss has been tapped as a special counsel in his investigation into President Joe Biden's son.

“I don’t know what the hell is going on around here. It’s the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen,” Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida said.

Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky is continuing his efforts to have Dr. Anthony Fauci charged, alleging Fauci lied to Congress.

Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida wants to haul special prosecutor Jack Smith before a Congressional committee.

Democrats are learning that abuse of the law is a two-edged sword. In the case of Hunter Biden, they might find out how sharp the edge is.
