Attorney General Merrick Garland vows Hunter Biden probe free of interference

(AP) Attorney General Merrick Garland vowed Wednesday he won't interfere with an investigation into Hunter Biden's taxes, a probe that's continuing to unfold as congressional Republicans intensify their focus on the president’s son. Garland told the Senate Judiciary Committee he has left the matter in the hands of U.S. Attorney David Weiss, the top federal prosecutor in Delaware, who would be empowered to expand his investigation outside the state if needed. “He has been advised he is not to be denied anything he needs,” Garland said. “I have not heard anything from that office to suggest that they are not able to do everything the U.S. Attorney wants to do.” Garland's appearance was his first since the new Congress convened, and came against the backdrop of special counsel investigations into classified records found at the homes of former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden.
