Special Counsel David Weiss has strongly denied accusations from President Joe Biden and Democrats that he selectively prosecuted Hunter Biden. In recent court filings, Weiss also expressed opposition to dismissing charges following a blanket pardon granted by the president.

The filings come after President Biden granted Hunter Biden a “full and unconditional pardon” on Sunday evening. This move followed months of public statements from both the president and his administration, asserting that Hunter Biden would not receive a pardon for his federal gun and tax convictions.

Despite the pardon’s wide-reaching implications, Weiss maintains that the prosecution of Hunter Biden was handled impartially and according to legal standards. He emphasized that the investigation into Hunter Biden’s conduct was separate from any political influence.

The pardon decision has stirred significant political debate, with critics questioning the timing and implications of the president’s actions, especially after his repeated assurances that no such pardon would be granted. The case continues to evolve as both legal and political perspectives play a role in the ongoing discussions.
