Special Counsel David Weiss condemned President Joe Biden’s attacks on the criminal prosecutions against Hunter Biden as “vindictive” and “selective” after the outgoing commander-in-chief pardoned the first son.
“Other presidents have pardoned family members, but in doing so, none have taken the occasion as an opportunity to malign the public servants at the Department of Justice based solely on false accusations,” Weiss wrote in the slim 27-page report.
“I prosecuted the two cases against Mr. Biden because he broke the law,” he added. “A unanimous jury — who found Mr. Biden guilty of gun charges — and Mr. Biden himself — who pleaded guilty to tax offenses — agreed.”
President Biden slammed the prosecutions of his son in December when giving Hunter Biden a sweeping pardon stretching back through 2014.
