Rep. Jamie Raskin said on ThisWeekABC that the process to getting David Weiss appointed special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden was 'bumpy,' but federal prosecutors should be allowed to continue their work unimpeded by politics.
August 13, 2023, 9:19 AMRepresentative Jamie Raskin, ranking member of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, speaks during a hearing in Washington, D.C., on July 19, 2023.Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, said Sunday that the process of
to investigate Hunter Biden, the president's eldest son, was "bumpy" and that it seems Hunter Biden did "a lot of really unlawful and wrong things." But, Raskin said, federal prosecutors should be allowed to continue their work unimpeded by politics. "David Weiss, the U.S. attorney for Delaware, who had been nominated by Donald Trump, can make the decisions about what to charge, where to charge and when to charge," Raskin told ABC "This week" co-anchor Jonathan Karl. "And withthat he had apparently worked out with Hunter Biden, now he wants to be certain that he's got the authority to go bring charges wherever he wants.
The change in the plea status was detailed in filings by prosecutors on Friday, the same day Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that he was elevating Weiss, who has been investigating Hunter Biden for years, to special counsel."From my perspective, it is the rule of law and the justice system working itself out the way that it does and, obviously, it's bumpy and this side or that side doesn't necessarily prefer this course of events," Raskin said.
