attorney's office in delaware in this matter, whether in delaware, washington, d.c., or anywhere elsee expect a fair resolution on behalf of our client. this u.s. attorney has diligently been investigating my client for five years, and he proposed a resolution, which we fully intend to pursue in court. it is hard to see why he would have proposed such a resolution if there were other offenses he could have prosecuted. we are aware of none. we are confident my client will have resolution and will be moving on with his life successfully. so that's notable for a variety of reasons because it says what we had understood basically to be the case, which is the understanding of hunter biden's attorney, his team was that this plea agreement meant the end of any investigations into him, but to be clear, david weiss had said in his own press statement, he said we're going to continue investigating this. this is not the end. so something broke down, and it doesn't just have legal implications here, as you note, it has significant political implications as well. >> i was discussing that the day i

i am a member of the delaware tribe of indians for that is our colonial name delaware.a british colonial governor sir thomas west. now the lenape people became known as the delaware throughout this historic period of time. but as we encountered more and more of the europeans, again the dutch followed by the british and ultimately the americans as the hunger for more land and opportunity to have a free and independent land to live on. they displace the original people who were all ready free and independent people leaving on the land. that isto the lenape. our stories and much of what you will see in this exhibit will tell our story of how we were forced away from our homeland in an environment in a theater of war after a wildly became war refugees. if you listen to the news or watch the news you see about other countries and people being displaced in their own countries in the theater of war. that is what the lenape went through. this exhibit will not only tell that story and there is my essay that i wrote were i take us through that trail were today the lenape today's

attorney out in delaware, david weiss. remember, the senate majority leader chuck schumer said he had full confidence in david weiss to get his job done. hearing from congressional republicans no dice, they don't have any belief david weiss would get the job done even though he was apointed by president trump to get to this position. and will we see potential pushback on whether or not he would be challenged for the democratic presidential nomination, so far he's faced two challengers but they are polling very low. whether or not this would recreate the fire of whether he's going to be challenged further is yet to be seen. but the president is just getting ready to head out on the campaign trail, a huge swing out west, at a campaign fundraiser last night. the biden campaign was likely thinking it was going to be behind them. as of three weeks ago a plea deal where it was all going to go away and that is no longer the case. gillian, if i had a crystal ball i would try to figure out when will the trial take place, a finality

the delaware way. the delaware way president biden has spoken about throughout the years, the way they do business in delaware, a cozyiness, and the way things should be. the president said he wanted to bring this model to washington. but interestingly, david weiss himself over a decade ago wrote a memo actually painting a different picture, a darker picture, he said it's soft corruption, and it's been present in the state for years. that was in a presentencing memo about what, his successful prosecution of a delaware businessman who had illegally contributed to then joe biden's campaign in 2008. so he's talking about the dark side of the delaware way as it relates to joe biden himself. so what i'm confused about and i think a lot of people are confused about at this point, if weiss is anti-this delaware way, why in the world are we here. this hunter biden situation wreaks of just that. >> and david weiss was working with beau biden, right? >> in the case i just mentioned, beau biden had to recuse hims

people in power in delaware have with each other. this would seem to be an indication of that in practice. >> well, as an example of the delaware way, it's an example of the kind of political appointments that you have and a lot of u.s. attorney's offices around the country, large or small. the u.s. senator from the party in power in the white house will often have an effect on who gets hired in u.s. attorney's offices. i saw it happen back in my day in a very big office. but there's nothing inherently unethical about the fact somebody close to a senator gets a job as assistant u.s. attorney. it would have been a real scandal if mackler had any kind of say in the hunter biden investigation, but like i say, it's not unethical he got a job, but it's indicative of why it never should have been sent to a small district like delaware where, you know, president biden visited the office and chatted with staff during the investigation. it just is a recipe for a nonaggressive prosecution. now, there has been a report that mackler was close an

it is the delaware way. weiss is a lifelong delaware prosecutor. delaware is the home. they know who he is. the cronies blue slip into the spot. he was not trumps pick. that is why garland picked him to be special counsel. biden and garland will use weiss as a shield to stonewall the investigation and will drag this on past 2024. he is moving venues out of delaware, and into dc in california that will put the case to a more the indigent judge to set up a sweeter plea deal. this gives biden more time to pardon his son. once the immunity deal blew up the pardon is the only move if reelected he will predict a softer plea deal but if trump is elected we predict he will pardon hunter on the way out the door. eventually special counsel will put out a report and weiss will explain why he did not prosecute because he is as it and they will say the special counsel exonerated. with a cover-up between the department of justice and fbi and the white house. one problem. this will just ignite the impeachment inquiry. house republicans see this as obstruction of justice. special couns

attorney's office in delaware.at that point, and he said, quote, what was the potential issue with working the case in delaware. we were working with a small u.s. attorney's office who might not have ever worked a case of this caliber. bill barr was appointed by donald trump, correct? we >> yes, that is correct. >> let me turn to another concern you lay out in your testimony. you are concerned about the quality of the prosecutors on page 14. you say, quote, the prosecutors were the j.b. squad. they weren't up to the task of handling such a big case. now, sir, u.s. attorney white was also appointed by donald trump, right? >> as far as the actual nomination and what went into why -- >> i'm not asking you why. i'm saying, it was appointed by donald trump, correct? >> that is. correct now, another concern you lay out in your deposition. page 21. you talk about your concerns about this investigation having been made over, being publicized. you said, quote, one of the first disagreements i had was the idea of going publi

attorney for delaware. some of the conduct or alleged conduct had taken place in other jurisdictions. it's a bit of a reversal because both garland and david weiss has previously said he didn't ask for special counsel status and all the authority he needed in this case. but now according to garland, weiss asked for that status on tuesday and he was granted that. as garland said, it will also mean that david weiss will be providing a report with any prosecution decisions or declinations at the end of this and this is something that the house republicans had been raising as a question here because there were irs whistle-blowers saying that some of their investigative efforts were stymied during this multi-year investigation. so it is something that house republicans have been scrutinizing and appointing a special counsel could i leavuate some of that scrutiny. but it raises a lot of questions about just what else they might be investigating. i noted that garland said they will be able to investigate criminal

government but david weiss is attorney for delaware. so how does this work?his issue? >> well, we're not sure that this isn't kind of a way to make the special council and make weiss somehow have to trip over that in the future. i mean, i'm not sure we can trust merrick garland to do things not only by the book but also for a reason that is in the best interest of justice. i think as a former prosecutor and obviously having sat in the chair that merrick garland is sitting in right now, i know that we made decisions, when i was there, you know, that were only in the interest of justice and on behalf of the american people and we took that very seriously. merrick garland seems to be willing to make political decisdecisions at least from my perspective, including a special council that may violate the regulations. obviously, if you assume that he's doing the right thing by appointing weiss as special council, you have to also assume that they thought through the issue and want to give him broadened power in order to pursue possibly charges regarding the foreign

it's the delaware way. ic scr weiss is a lifelong delaware prosecutor. delawareutdelaware way is the bs fiefdom. they know who weiss is. biden's two senate cronies, carper and blue slipped him into the u.s. attorney spot. weiss wasn't trump's pick. it's why garland picked him to be special counsel. spot. >> biden and garland are going to use weiss as a shield. to stonewall im all the comer investigation. weiss will drag this on past 2024. >> he's moving venues out of enues oudelaware. d into the last judge was too sharp and into d.c. and california. well d, they'll chop the case to a more lenient judge to set up a sweeter plea deal. but this really gives biden more time to pardon his son. once hunter's immunity deal blew up, the pardon was the only move. ndigen if biden is reelected, we'll predict probably softet ur or hunter plea deals. but if trump selected again, we will prut if trpredict biden pr on the way out the door. today's move just buysr on the e to run out the clock. eventually, the special counsel will put out a report and weissa will explai

and delaware hunter biden investigations, correct? >> i did testify to that, correct. >> a few weeks after that testimony, your attorney wrote in a letter, to congress, i quote, mr. ziegler's confidence he was told by the supervisor that the merging of the cases was at the direction of an official at the department of justice. however, on further reflection, mr. ziegler cannot definitively state that is then supervisors said that the department of justice official directed a merger of the cases was attorney general barr, correct? >> that is correct, i can tell you that i actually refreshed my memory from looking at that email. there was an email that i found for my supervisor at that time, that stated what had happened. i can turn that over to the house ways and means committee at some point. >> and in that updated email, didn't include attorney general barr or not? >> i can't speak to the content of that email. >> no problem. i think in light of the correction, and truly in good faith, these things happen all the time, right? the rec

attorney for delaware, will have authority to investigate this case anywhere in the u.s.hat's been an issue, because hunter biden lives in california. one of the issues having to do with this investigation is his failure to fay taxes, and thinks tax preparer was in washington, d.c. so this gives him broad scope. he'll put together a report at the end of the investigation provided to garland. that report is expected to be made public, so there will be more transparency in this investigation, which has been under fire by house republicans who have presented testimony from i.r.s. whistle-blowers who have said they were stopped from pursuing certain investigative leads. this all comes about after hunter biden had reached a plea deal, appeared in federal court in delaware late last month, but the deal fell apart in real time, with the judge asking a lot of questions about the scope of the deal. he was expected to plead guilty to to the misdemeanor tax charges, and reach an agreement with diversion on the gun charge. the prosecutors noted that the parties had given biden's team

attorney's office in delaware in this matter, whether in delaware, washington, d.c. or elsewhere we expect a fair resolution on behalf of our client. the u.s. attorney has been diligently been investigating my client for five years and he had proposed a resolution which we fully intended to pursue in court. we are confident when all those maneuverings are at an end my client will have resolution and we will be moving forward with his life successfully. so potentially, you know, this is going to either go to trial or there's basically two paths to go forward but right now everything seems to be moving towards a trial and potentially really, really public part of this investigation. >> ryan, republicans on capitol hill they have had a lot of their own hearings into hunter biden's business dealings. are they responding at all to the news? >> you know, a lot of the statements we've seen thus far from republicans has been very critical, even though this u.s. attorney was a donald trump appointee, because of the fact that he had agreed to this previous plea deal, they don'

i may have to file charges in jurisdictions other than delaware. i thought the investigation may have been reaching closure, it's not, still several chapters to be written, and because i have to do additional things i did not contemplate, i want more authority. that is my guess as to why it unfolded, and a great question as to why he wasn't made a special counsel years ago. >> having direct answers on ould be good, some transparency is needed. statement today, saying quote, it is hard to see why he would have proposed such a resolution, if there were other offenses he could have successfully prosecuted, and we are aware of non-. so another question of my many of all these, now special counsel david weiss was ready to basically let hunter off with a slap on the wrist, misdemeanor and a diversion program. and now he wants to be a special counsel? >> yes, again, there questions why this is happening now and questions about what it means if the investigation is continuing with him as a special counsel. the concern always when you are the subject of a s
