Merrick Garland Says Hunter Biden Probe Conducted Without Interference

Attorney General Merrick Garland told members of Congress that he hasn’t interfered with the Justice Department investigation into President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, and never discussed the probe or received direction about it from anyone at the White House.

Garland faced blistering questioning Wednesday by Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee over the handling of the Hunter Biden case. The lawmakers suggested investigators were hamstrung from bringing charges and questioned why the statute of limitations was allowed to expire for some tax offenses without charges being brought.
