Federal attorney David Weiss, who investigated and prosecuted Hunter Biden, resigned quietly in January. His resignation was confirmed by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Delaware and the Justice Department. It was voluntary and not requested. He was succeeded by Shannon T. Hanson, who worked for Weiss previously. Weiss’ resignation came three days before Trump’s second term began and was not publicly announced. His final report criticizing President Joe Biden for pardoning his son was made public on Jan. 13. Weiss accused the president of rewriting history and undermining the criminal justice system by criticizing the investigation and decision to pardon Hunter Biden. The cases led to guilty verdicts and pleas on gun, tax, and fraud charges. Weiss responded to Biden’s criticism by defending the integrity of the Department of Justice and the public servants involved in the case. The resignation and report shed light on the contentious relationship between politicians and prosecutors, with Weiss emphasizing the importance of upholding the reputation and integrity of the criminal justice system.
