Attorney General Merrick Garland on Tuesday said there will "not be interference of any political or improper kind" in the Justice Department's investigation into Hunter Biden's business dealings.
Senator Bill Hagerty (R., Tenn.) questioned the attorney general about the investigation into President Biden’s son during a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, asking whether Garland himself had been briefed on the investigation.
Garland replied that the probe is being led by David Weiss, the U.S. attorney in Wilmington, Delaware who was appointed by former President Donald Trump.
“I’m aware of that, but he reports to you,” Hagerty said.
“He is supervising the investigation and I’m not at liberty to talk about internal Justice Department deliberations, but he is in charge of that investigation,” Garland replied. “There will not be interference of any political or improper kind.”
