Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed a special counsel in the criminal investigation of Hunter Biden, signaling a wider probe of President Joe Biden's son ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
Garland announced Friday that he is elevating David Weiss, the U.S. attorney in Delaware who has led the Hunter Biden investigation for five years, to special counsel status.
Garland, delivering a surprise statement from the Justice Department headquarters, said Weiss informed him on Tuesday that "his investigation had reached a stage at which he should continue his work as a special counsel" and asked for the appointment.
"Upon considering his request, as well as the extraordinary circumstances relating to this matter, I have concluded that it is in the public interest to appoint him as special counsel," Garland said.
