The Department of Justice (DOJ) began to offer dates for Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss to explain on Capitol Hill why federal prosecutors struck a weak plea agreement with the president’s son.
On Monday, the assistant attorney general for legislative affairs sent a letter to the House Judiciary Committee “to offer U.S. Attorney Weiss to testify shortly after Congress returns from
the August district work period.” The department offered Sept. 27-28 or Oct. 18-19 for Weiss to give public testimony, according to the letter obtained by The Federalist.
“U.S. Attorney Weiss is the appropriate person to speak to these issues, as he is both the senior Department official responsible for the investigation as well as the person with direct knowledge of the facts necessary to respond to the assertions in which you have expressed interest,” the letter said, indicating the DOJ is preparing to throw Weiss under the bus for the Biden-protection racket.
Lawmakers received the letter on the same day the House Oversight Committee finalized plans to hear from former Hunter Biden business partner Devon Archer, who will give testimony on Monday next week. Archer is expected to testify that Hunter Biden facilitated meetings and phone calls with his then-vice president father at least two dozen times.
Monday’s letter from the Justice Department was signed by a mid-level staffer, not by Attorney General Merrick Garland or even his deputy, while open questions remain surrounding Weiss’s ability to press the charges recommended by federal investigators.
