David Weiss confirms Hunter made millions on family name in final report, blasts Joe Biden

Special Counsel David Weiss on Monday blasted President Joe Biden in the final report on his investigation into first son Hunter Biden, over accusations that the first son's criminal cases were politically motivated and confirmed Hunter Biden capitalized on his family name to secure lucrative deals. 

The report, which was reviewed by Just The News, slammed the president for accusing prosecutors of being political when he pardoned his son. 

Weiss has denied allegations that the prosecution was politically motivated, arguing that multiple judges have ruled that the prosecution was not vindictive, after attorneys for the younger Biden made the same argument in legal filings.

"Calling those rulings into question and injecting partisanship into the independent administration of the law undermines the very foundation of what makes America's justice system fair and equitable," Weiss wrote. "It erodes public confidence in an institution that is essential to preserving the rule of law."

The president previously claimed people are not usually prosecuted for falsely filing out a gun form without aggravating factors, or for being late in filing taxes because of addiction when they've paid all the fees back with interest and other penalties.

"Those who were late paying their taxes because of serious addictions, but paid them back subsequently with interest and penalties, are typically given non-criminal resolutions," the president said at the time. "It is clear that Hunter was treated differently."

Weiss said the president's accusations do not just harm prosecutors, but also the Justice Department and other public servants.

"Politicians who attack the decisions of career prosecutors as politically motivated when they disagree with the outcome of a case undermine the public's confidence in our criminal justice system," Weiss wrote. "The President's statements unfairly impugn the integrity not only of Department of Justice personnel, but all of the public servants making these difficult decisions in good faith."

Weiss also posited that Hunter Biden took advantage of his last name while Joe Biden was vice president in order to secure lucrative business opportunities, and willfully chose not to pay over $1.4 million in taxes, despite making more than $7 million between 2016 and 2020.

"Mr. Biden made this money by using his last name and connections to secure lucrative business opportunities, such as a board seat at a Ukrainian industrial conglomerate, Burisma Holdings Limited, and a joint venture with individuals associated with a Chinese energy conglomerate," Weiss wrote. 

The special counsel added that the money was earned while doing "limited work." 

The admission from Weiss comes after Republicans have long accused Hunter Biden of taking advantage of his last name in order to secure high-paying jobs. 

Wyoming GOP Rep. Harriet Hageman commented on the report during Monday's episode of the "Just The News, No Noise" TV show, claiming that the report went beyond Hunter Biden to the entire Biden family, and should make people question how Hunter Biden's foreign connections have compromised national security.

"I constantly have to question the position that this administration has taken with regard to China," Hageman said. "All of these are countries that had contact with and were paying Hunter Biden massive amounts of money, and that's why this is an important issue for the American people, because we cannot allow family members of elected officials to be able to sell our country to the highest bidder of foreign countries."

House Oversight Chairman James Comer slammed the report as "incomplete" and claimed that the Biden Justice Department never intended to prosecute the Biden family.

"Let’s be clear: the Biden DOJ was never going to prosecute the Biden Crime Family," Comer said in a statement. "The House Oversight Committee’s investigation of the Bidens’ influence peddling schemes revealed how Joe Biden knew about, participated in, and benefitted from his family cashing in on the Biden name. 

"Two brave whistleblowers, Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, blew the whistle on DOJ’s misconduct and politicization in the Hunter Biden criminal investigation and revealed they were prevented from following evidence that could have led to Joe Biden," he continued. "Joe Biden will be remembered for using his last few weeks in office to shield his son from the law and protect himself. The president’s legacy is the same as his family’s business dealings: corrupt.”  

Weiss further accused President Biden of attempting to "rewrite history."

"The Constitution provides the President with broad authority to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United
States, but nowhere does the Constitution give the President the authority to rewrite history," he wrote. 

The release comes as Special Counsel Jack Smith is expected to release his investigation into President-elect Donald Trump. Federal Florida Judge Aileen Cannon ruled on Monday that she would not block Smith's release.
