The lawyer for one of the two IRS informants who is arguing that US Attorney for the District of Delaware David Weiss did not have complete prosecutorial control over the Hunter Biden case said on Fox News on Wednesday that the Trump appointee must come forward and explain any apparent inconsistencies.
Attorney General Merrick Garland may not have been informed of Weiss’ failure to file charges against the first son in Los Angeles and the District of Columbia, according to Tristan Leavitt, who is representing Internal Revenue Service (IRS) investigator Gary Shapley.
Rejected Charges in Multiple Jurisdictions
Alternatively, it may have been that the chief justice was aware that Weiss had been turned down.
After the New York Times confirmed that the offices of US Attorneys for Central California E. Martin Estrada and for the District of Columbia Matt Graves rejected Weiss’ attempts to bring charges there, Leavitt said the focus should instead be on Weiss more so.
The Times reported that Weiss contacted Graves in the hopes that charges may be brought but was rejected and further stated that the same thing happened with the Los Angeles office.
Weiss is notable for being the final US attorney chosen by Trump who has been retained by President Joe Biden in an effort to ostensibly avoid a conflict of interest with his son’s prosecution in the Wilmington office.

Assistant US Attorney Under Scrutiny
Such prosecutors typically offer their resignations after the start of a new administration.
Lesley Wolf, an assistant US attorney in Weiss’ office, is accused of discouraging inquiries into whether President Joe Biden is the main character in Hunter’s correspondence with Chinese businesses.
This accusation was made in whistleblower evidence that Leavitt appeared to corroborate and was reported on Tuesday by the House Oversight Committee.
The message would go against President Joe Biden’s claims that he was unaware of his son’s dealings.
