The House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday released transcripts from interviews concerning conflicts of interest and deviations from standard processes in the Justice Department's investigation into Hunter Biden.
The panel issued a release that included links to transcripts for interviews with special counsel David Weiss, former Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf, FBI special agent in charge Thomas Sobocinski, U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves, former U.S. Attorney Scott Brady, U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada, Acting Deputy Assistant Attorney General Stuart Goldberg, and FBI assistant special agent in charge Ryeshia Holley.
The committee released the transcripts two days after Weiss issued a report in which he said criminal charges against Biden, son of President Joe Biden, "were the culmination of thorough, impartial investigations, not partisan politics."
Weiss' report sharply criticized Joe Biden for having maligned the Justice Department when he pardoned his son. The pardon not only covered Hunter Biden's multiple convictions related to weapons charges and tax evasion, but to any federal crime that may have been committed since 2014.
Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, last week said his panel will proceed with its investigation into Hunter Biden and any potential criminal actions.
"We think we need to look at David Weiss, the special counsel," Jordan told Politico. "There will be some additional work we need to do, I think, there because when we deposed him, he wasn't willing to — he didn't answer any questions, really, because it was [an] ongoing investigation."
The House Judiciary Committee interviewed Weiss and the other officials as part of its investigation into Joe Biden's alleged influence peddling via his families business dealings.
Weiss' report was the culmination of years-long probes into Hunter Biden that predated the arrival of Attorney General Merrick Garland. Weiss served as U.S. attorney for Delaware during the Trump administration and was kept in his position by Garland before being named to the role of special counsel in 2023.
