Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, grilled Attorney General Merrick Garland during a Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday about the independence of the federal Hunter Biden probe.
But Garland has come under scrutiny for not elevating Weiss to special counsel status to ensure his independence. On Wednesday, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, pressed Garland on what would happen if Weiss needed to pursue the case against Biden outside his Delaware jurisdiction.Attorney General Merrick Garland is sworn in during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing at the Capitol in Washington, D.C, on Wednesday.
"[I]f it's in another district, he would have to bring the case in another district," Garland said."But as I said, I promise to ensure that he's able to carry out his investigation and that he'd be able to run it. And if he needs to bring it in another jurisdiction, he will have full authority to do that."
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa., has been actively questioning the federal probe into Hunter Biden for months. "It’s kind of a complicated question," the attorney general replied, adding that such a decision would have to be brought to him first."I would then have to, you know, authorize it and permit it to be brought in the jurisdiction — and that is exactly what I promised to do here."
