Republicans trotted out IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley and one of his deputies to testify before Congress that US Attorney David Weiss was blocked by Justice Department leadership when he requested to be named as a special counsel and was refused when asked for the authority to bring charges against Hunter Biden in Los Angeles and Washington, DC.

Nope.

US Attorney David Weiss, who is overseeing the Hunter Biden criminal probe, says in a letter obtained by CNN that he did not ask to be named as a special counsel and was never refused authority to bring charges anywhere in the country, refuting two key allegations from IRS whistleblowers.

Weiss' comments, in a letter sent Monday to GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, go against claims from IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley and one of his deputies, who said they witnessed political interference in investigation of President Joe Biden's son.

So Weiss, a republican Trump appointee who was kept on by president Biden to avoid the appearance of interfering in the investigation of his son, said the whistleblowers were blowing smoke.
