U.S. Attorney David Weiss of Delaware had full authority to charge Hunter Biden but did not do so.
U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada of California declined to partner with Weiss on the Hunter Biden case, citing a lack of resources.
Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, has been under investigation by the U.S. Attorney's office in Delaware for potential tax law violations. However, recent reports suggest that U.S. Attorney David Weiss of Delaware had full authority to charge Hunter Biden but did not do so.
In a separate development, U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada of California stated that he declined to partner with Weiss on the Hunter Biden case, citing a lack of resources in his district to handle such a case. Estrada's statement came in response to questions about why his office did not join the investigation into Hunter Biden's tax affairs.
The investigation into Hunter Biden's tax affairs has been ongoing since 2018, with the U.S. Attorney's office in Delaware leading the probe. The investigation is looking into whether Hunter Biden failed to report income from his overseas business dealings, particularly in China and Ukraine.
The decision by Weiss and Estrada not to charge Hunter Biden has raised questions about the handling of the investigation. Some critics have suggested that political considerations may have influenced the decision, although both Weiss and Estrada have denied this.
The investigation into Hunter Biden's tax affairs continues, with no charges filed to date. The outcome of the investigation could have significant political implications, given Hunter Biden's connection to the President.
There is a potential for political bias in the reporting of this story, given the high-profile nature of the subject and the political implications of the investigation.
