Durbin Statement On The Appointment Of U.S. Attorney Weiss As Special Counsel To Investigate Hunter Biden Matters
Statement
Issues: Executive Branch Legal
"Attorney General Garland has committed to avoiding even the appearance of politicization at the Justice Department, and his appointment of a Special Counsel in this matter demonstrates that commitment yet again. And President Biden's decision to keep Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney David Weiss on in Delaware when he was sworn-in stands in stark contrast to former President Trump's repeated efforts to use the Justice Department and Attorney General as his personal lawyer.
U.S. Attorney David Weiss is a distinguished prosecutor, and I trust that the Justice Department's professional, nonpartisan approach will carry on as the Special Counsel continues his investigation."
