The federal prosecutor overseeing the Hunter Biden probe on Friday doubled down on his insistence that he had ‘ultimate authority’ over the Justice Department’s Hunter Biden investigation.
In a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, obtained by The Post, US Attorney for the District of Delaware David Weiss maintained that he was being truthful in a June 7 missive to the Ohio Republican when he wrote that he was in charge of “deciding where, when, and whether to file charges” against President Biden’s son.
“I stand by what I wrote,” Weiss told Jordan in Friday’s letter.
“At the outset, I would like to reaffirm the contents of the June 7 letter drafted by my office and reiterate that I am not at liberty to provide the materials you seek,” Weiss said in response to requests for information made by Jordan in a June 22 letter related to claims made by IRS whistleblowers alleging a coverup in the Hunter Biden probe.
“The whistleblowers’ allegations relate to a criminal investigation that is now being prosecuted in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. At this juncture, I am required to protect confidential law enforcement information and deliberative communications related to the case. Thus, I will not provide specific information related to the Hunter Biden investigation at this time,” the US attorney wrote.
In the letter, Weiss denied that the DOJ retaliated against an IRS investigatory team after two whistleblowers involved in the Hunter Biden case came forward with bombshell allegations that Weiss did not have ultimate authority in charging decisions and investigative steps.
“The Department of Justice did not retaliate against an Internal Revenue Service Criminal Supervisory Special Agent and whistleblower, as well as his entire investigative team… for making protected disclosures to Congress,’” Weiss wrote.

“La Cosa Nostra does not exist.”
Weiss didn’t want a horses head in his bed.
A non-answer answer. Ongoing investigation excuse. Unacceptable.
Bring him to a House Committee and put him under oath.
His contradiction is not the same as 6 witnesses.
The coverup gets deeper and deeper.
It’s up to the judge to throw out the plea bargain. Her dog will probably end up dead in the next couple of weeks.
So he’s going with the “six witnesses who documented what I said at the time are lying” defense.
If he settled, then why is the investigation ongoing?
LIAR!!! YOU NEED AN EXORCISM BY YOUR RABBI....TODAY!
Lisa Monaco! PURE EVIL!
He has to stand by his written statement.... unless he wants to go straight to jail.
If he settled, then why is the investigation ongoing?
I’ll take a shot at answering this -
“I can’t talk about that congressman because it remains under investigation”
You cannot FOIA documents from an active and open investigation.
There are other offenses for which the statute of limitations has not yet run out.
Bonus - this hides evidence that might pertain to corruption by the “Big Guy”
The “ongoing investigation” excuse is what they use to cover up their crimes and lawless activities. It has become so obvious for anyone with any intelligence.

How is it I’ve seen writings that frame this letter as the absolute opposite of this one?
Word games! “HE” had the ultimate authority over “what he wrote”. Which is true for any of us. But the limits of what he COULD write, well that came from somewhere else.
