Biden probe: Aide close to him worked for Weiss during investigation start.

A⁣ Close Associate of the Biden Family Linked to Hunter Biden Investigation

A close associate of ​the Biden⁢ family, Alexander ‌Mackler, has come under⁢ scrutiny for his ⁢involvement in the Delaware U.S. attorney’s office⁣ during the time when an⁤ investigation into Hunter Biden was taking place. Mackler,​ who previously served as press secretary‍ in Joe Biden’s⁢ Senate office and later as legal counsel in his vice presidential office, had a personal relationship with Hunter‌ Biden,‌ as evidenced⁤ by emails found on Hunter Biden’s laptop. Mackler’s role in the U.S. attorney’s ⁢office, where he worked from August 2016 to May 2019, raises ⁢questions about potential ​conflicts of ⁢interest.

Connections and Controversy

Mackler’s‌ close ties to the Biden‌ family are ⁢evident. He ⁤managed Beau Biden’s successful campaign ‍for Delaware attorney general in 2010 and served on the Biden-Harris transition team in 2020. Additionally, Mackler referred to Hunter Biden as a “brother” in ⁣an email exchange from October 2018. The House Republicans are⁣ now investigating the reasons behind the apparent obstruction of the Hunter ‌Biden⁤ investigation ‌by members of the U.S. attorney’s office, including Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf, who worked alongside Mackler.

Whistleblowers⁢ have testified that Wolf intervened to prevent key investigative steps from moving forward, including restricting questions about Joe Biden’s involvement in foreign business affairs and tipping off Hunter Biden’s ​attorneys about a planned search of his storage unit. The nature of the relationship between Wolf⁣ and Mackler remains unclear, but their previous collaboration on a major case raises concerns about potential bias.

Delaware Attorney ⁤General’s​ Office

Mackler currently works under Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings, who herself has‌ extensive ties to the Biden family. In February, Hunter Biden’s attorneys urged Jennings to investigate the individuals involved in publicizing the contents of Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop. However,‍ it is unclear whether Jennings’s ⁤office ultimately opened an investigation into the dissemination of the laptop.

The deep connections between ⁤Mackler and the‌ Biden family raise questions ‌about his involvement in an‌ investigation concerning the⁢ Bidens. Mackler’s email correspondence with Hunter Biden and his role in editing public statements related to Joe Biden’s ​institute at the University of Delaware ⁢while working in the U.S.⁣ attorney’s office further highlight the potential conflicts of interest.

Potential Revelations and Testimonies

House Republicans are ‍preparing for an interview with⁣ Devon Archer,‌ a former​ business partner of Hunter Biden’s, who⁤ may have ⁤more incentive to ‍disclose details to congressional investigators‌ due ‍to his conviction and potential prison time on fraud charges. ⁤Archer is reportedly poised to testify that Joe Biden ​frequently spoke to Hunter Biden’s prospective foreign business partners, contradicting Joe Biden’s previous denials ‍of discussing ⁤business matters with his son.

The Justice‌ Department has also announced that⁢ U.S. Attorney David Weiss will be available to testify, potentially shedding light on the actions of his team during the Hunter Biden investigation. However,‍ the timing of ⁣Weiss’s testimony may clash with ⁤the plans of congressional investigators, who have expressed their desire to ‍conduct interviews with other witnesses before holding a hearing with Weiss.
