David Weiss, the lead U.S. attorney on the Hunter Biden investigation, sent a letter to Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) disputing whistleblower claims that he had requested special counsel status.
Weiss’s Monday letter was in response to a request Graham made on June 28 in which he asked about testimony from two IRS whistleblowers given to the House Ways and Means Committee. The whistleblowers alleged the Department of Justice blocked Weiss from filing charges in the jurisdiction of his choice and that his request for special counsel status was denied.
The legal team for one of the IRS whistleblowers, supervisory agent Gary Shapley, said it makes “no difference” whether he requested special counsel or special attorney status. Weiss did not respond to questions Graham raised regarding claims made in an unverified FBI-generated FD-1023 tip sheet in which a paid FBI informant said they had been tipped off about an alleged multimillion foreign bribery scheme involving Hunter Biden and then Vice-President Joe Biden.
