Special counsel David Weiss has moved to reject Hunter Biden’s request for documents related to Donald Trump, arguing that it is an unsupported attempt to circumvent criminal subpoena rules.
Hunter Biden’s defense claims selective prosecution, but Weiss’s filing dismisses this, stating that no charges were brought during the prior administration when the subpoena recipients held office.
The filing also highlights Hunter Biden’s public acknowledgment of criminal conduct relevant to the case. (Trending: Elon Musk Condemns Arrest Of Jan 6 Protester)
“His motion is meritless and should be denied,” Weiss’s office stated, labeling it an “unsupported, improper attempt to circumvent the rules applicable to criminal subpoenas.”
“Defendant’s attempts to manufacture discriminatory treatment or intent on behalf of the U.S. Attorney fall apart under the most minimal scrutiny,” the filing added.
“Not only does defendant’s motion fail to identify any actual evidence of bias, vindictiveness, or discriminatory intent on the Special Counsel’s part, his arguments ignore an inconvenient truth: No charges were brought against defendant during the prior administration when the subpoena recipients actually held office in the Executive Branch.”
“Defendant has not shown, nor can he, how external statements by political opponents of President Biden improperly pressured him, his Attorney General, or the Special Counsel to pursue charges against the President’s son,” the filing said.
“In addition to offering no evidence that the now-Special Counsel had any animus or improper motivation against defendant, he offers no evidence that the current Attorney General acted out of any improper motive in empowering the Special Counsel to continue pursuing prosecution.”
“Defendant himself acknowledged committing criminal conduct relevant to this case when he authored a book admitting that he was addicted to crack cocaine in 2018, the year in which he illegally purchased a gun,” the filing added.
Additionally, the initial investigation into Hunter Biden, led by Weiss, has been criticized by IRS whistleblowers, who are scheduled to testify as part of an investigation into the Biden family’s finances.
