House Republicans have grilled Attorney General Merrick Garland about the Justice Department investigation of Hunter Biden in a contentious hearing that delved into aspects of the criminal justice system that typically play out long before the case enters a public courtroom
on Wednesday about the Justice Department investigation of Hunter Biden in a contentious hearing that delved into aspects of the criminal justice system that typically play out long before the case enters a public courtroom.
In the federal court system, cases typically start with investigators at agencies like the FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration or Homeland Security. There are 94 U.S. Attorney’s Offices where prosecutors look at evidence and decide whether to file charges. Some cases turn into criminal charges, while in others prosecutors decline to proceed.
In his testimony on Wednesday, Garland referred to that process as “very common” and “nothing cumbersome.” Republicans raised questions Wednesday about Weiss’s status as a special counsel appointed in August, saying a plea deal his office was ready to strike with Biden was a “sweetheart deal” and showed he wasn’t the best choice for the role. Garland, for his part, said he made the appointment because Weiss requested it and was leery of “changing horses midstream.”
