The report of the special counsel behind the prosecutions against Hunter Biden, David Weiss, was released Monday.
The document, as is customary for reports prepared by Justice Department special counsels, provides a recap of the investigative findings.
Special Counsel David Weiss has defended the impartiality of the investigations into Hunter Biden while publicly criticizing President Joe Biden for comments made when he pardoned his son.
Special counsel David Weiss slammed President Biden's characterization of his probe as infected with "raw politics" in his final report on his probes into Hunter Biden.
