Republicans accuse Special Counsel David Weiss of showing partiality to Hunter Biden. He rules that there is insufficient evidence to support the motion made by the son of former President Joe Biden to summon former President Donald Trump.
In a letter to U.S. District Court Judge Maryellen Noreika that The Daily Caller was able to receive, prosecutors from Weiss’s office claim that Hunter has not shown any basis for a protected class or offered any proof of “vindictive prosecution” connected to the former president.

“The United States respectfully opposes defendant Robert Hunter Biden’s request to issue subpoenas duces tecum. His motion is meritless and should be denied,” Subpoena demands for Trump, former US Attorney General William Barr, and two other former Justice Department officials are mentioned in the letter.
“It is worth noting from the outset that defendant misunderstands the difference between pretrial arguments to dismiss an indictment and trial defenses. It is black-letter law that claims of vindictive and selective prosecution are not trial defenses and may only be brought and litigated pretrial. They are not defenses and, therefore, are never argued to trial juries.”
“In seeking discovery for a claim of selective prosecution, defendant fails to identify even one similarly situated individual who was not prosecuted for similar conduct. This omission alone precludes his request for discovery,” the DOJ added. “He also identifies no constitutionally protected class to which he belongs and does not identify any evidence of discriminatory intent by the relevant decisionmakers, which is what the law requires in order to make out a claim of selective prosecution.”
“Defendant’s motion similarly fails to articulate any basis for a vindictive-prosecution claim. Defendant fails to identify what protected constitutional or statutory right he is being punished for asserting.”
Hunter’s attorneys allege a GOP plot to weaken the Department of Justice. The DOJ Prosecutors have shockingly revealed that the Trump Administration has not filed any charges against Hunter. The most recent demand is related to the case of alleged document falsification and firearm purchase. Hunter Is Accused of Tax Fraud Again.
A plea agreement in the case collapsed in July after defense lawyers—whom the prosecution refuted—argued that it would have spared Hunter the firearms charge. The next month, Weiss was named special counsel by U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, who gave him broad jurisdiction to look into claims of misconduct by Hunter outside of Delaware. The DOJ was inclined to dismiss the case against Hunter before whistleblowers came out, despite the DOJ’s denials of any influence on the case, according to accounts from mainstream media. In addition, operatives of the FBI lied to Weiss regarding the Bureau’s participation and informed Hunter in advance of a raid on his residence.

The president’s son, Hunter, has a “real risk” of going to prison, according to court watchers, and there are “legitimate questions” about whether his business operations that resulted in the tax fraud allegations were caused by his father’s connections.
