It is anticipated that Special Counsel Weiss will make public the report on Hunter Biden within the next week.
The attorney general must receive any final report from the special counsel.
According to Planet Chronicle, Special Counsel David Weiss is likely to release his final report on his investigation into Hunter Biden within the next week.
Special Counsel David Weiss' investigation led to Hunter Biden being convicted of three felony firearm offenses, and he also pleaded guilty to federal tax crimes for failing to pay at least $1.4 million in taxes.
President Joe Biden pardoned his son on all charges, sparing him from serving up to 17 years behind bars.
The federal investigation into Hunter Biden began in November 2018.
In 2023, whistleblowers from the IRS, Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, made allegations of politicization in the federal investigation of Hunter Biden to Congress.
The two claimed that political influence had contaminated the prosecutorial decisions in the federal investigation, which was headed by Trump-appointed Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who they alleged had sought to become a special counsel.
Weiss was appointed as special counsel by Attorney General Merrick Garland to continue the investigation of the first son, which led to federal charges against him in two separate jurisdictions — Delaware and California.
The Justice Department mandates that Weiss must submit any final report to Attorney General Merrick Garland, who has vowed to make as much of it public as possible.
The Justice Department and Special Counsel Weiss’ office declined to comment.
After months of pledging not to pardon his son, President Biden eventually granted him clemency.
In the past month, the president issued a pardon that covers any offenses against the U.S. that Hunter Biden may have committed from January 1, 2014, to December 1, 2024.
"Since taking office, I pledged not to interfere with the Justice Department's decision-making, and I have remained true to my word despite witnessing my son being unfairly prosecuted," Biden stated. "Despite my son's five and a half years of sobriety, he has faced relentless attacks and selective prosecution. In an attempt to break Hunter, they have also tried to break me. There is no reason to believe this will stop now. It is time for enough."
Biden stated, 'I hope Americans will comprehend why a father and a president would make this choice.'
