House finds Biden’s DOJ and Weiss granted Hunter Biden special treatment, exposing a two-tiered justice system
One day after Delaware U.S. Attorney-turned-Special Counsel David Weiss scolded Hunter Biden for baselessly requesting preferential treatment in his ongoing gun case, Republicans in the House released a report detailing how the Department of Justice treated President Joe Biden’s son with favoritism in the investigation into his alleged tax and gun crimes and then tried to cover it up.
Evidence uncovered by the House Judiciary Committee, Ways and Means Committee, and Oversight and Accountability Committee confirms that the DOJ slow-walked a federal tax crime inquiry into Hunter and “deviated from standard procedures” to protect the Bidens, with unprecedented actions like barring investigators from asking about any evidence that mentioned Joe such as the “big guy” or “dad.”
The Department’s concerning actions and kid-glove treatment of Hunter Biden serves as yet another example of the two-tiered justice system at the Biden Justice Department, the report concludes.
The findings aim to satisfy the third prong of the impeachment inquiry ordered by former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy in September, which asked if the Biden administration did anything to “slow, hamper, or otherwise impede the criminal investigation of the President’s son, Hunter Biden, which involves funds received by the Biden family from foreign sources.”
The committees determined from evidence and the testimonies of 10 federal officials including Weiss that both the DOJ and FBI hampered the criminal tax investigation of Hunter by interfering with IRS agents’ investigative protocol, cluing in the younger Biden to a surprise IRS interview in December 2020, and allowing the statute of limitations to expire “on the most serious potential charges.”
“These unusual—and oftentimes in the view of witnesses, unprecedented—tactics conflicted with standard operating procedures and ultimately had the effect of benefiting Hunter Biden,” the congressional investigators found.
The report’s findings corroborate testimony from several IRS whistleblowers who warned that the DOJ deliberately choked their investigation and charging recommendations for Hunter Biden because it didn’t want to damage Biden’s presidential chances.
“Several witnesses acknowledged the delicate approach used during the Hunter Biden case, describing the investigation as ‘sensitive’ or ‘significant,’” the report notes.
At the time, Weiss denied the DOJ’s meddling and claimed to have “ultimate authority” over the investigation. Weiss later declared that his charging authority “is geographically limited to my home district.”
Despite previous insistence under oath that Weiss possessed all of the authority he needed to properly charge Hunter, Attorney General Merrick Garland slyly admitted in a September congressional hearing that was not true.
Biden Justice Department officials told congressional investigators that Weiss could not bring charges without first getting the stamp of approval from other U.S. Attorneys and the Biden Justice Department’s Tax Division. It was “Biden Administration political appointees” who “exercised significant oversight and control over the investigation,” not Weiss, the committees found.

How did the DOJ attempt to cover up their favoritism towards Hunter Biden, according to the report?
That the DOJ obstructed the investigation into Hunter Biden to protect Joe Biden. The whistleblowers alleged that they were instructed to ignore evidence and were met with resistance when they tried to pursue the case.
The report also highlights the DOJ’s attempts to cover up their favoritism towards Hunter Biden. The investigators discovered that text messages and emails were altered or deliberately withheld, and key witnesses were either not interviewed or their testimonies were misrepresented. These actions further demonstrate the Department’s dedication to protecting the Bidens at all costs.
This latest revelation adds to the growing list of concerns regarding the integrity and transparency of the Biden Justice Department. As the report states, it exemplifies the existence of a two-tiered justice system, where those with connections and influence receive special treatment, while others face the full force of the law.
The report’s release comes at a critical time, as the impeachment inquiry into President Biden moves forward. It raises serious questions about the extent to which the administration interfered with the investigation into Hunter Biden’s alleged crimes, and whether they sought to impede justice for political gain.
It is crucial for the American people to have faith in the justice system and believe that all individuals, regardless of their political affiliations or family ties, will be held accountable for their actions. The findings of this report only further erode that trust and reinforce the urgent need for transparency and accountability within the Department of Justice.
As the investigation into Hunter Biden’s alleged crimes continues, it is imperative that the Department of Justice operates with complete impartiality and without any external influence. The American people deserve nothing less than a fair and thorough examination of the facts, free from political interference.
The release of this report should serve as a wake-up call to all Americans who value the principles of justice and equality before the law. It is a reminder that no one is above the law, and that the pursuit of truth and justice must always be prioritized over political considerations. Only by holding our government accountable can we ensure a just and fair society.
