Fox News: “Republican Rep. Ken Buck on Monday urged Attorney General William Barr to appoint a special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden’s business dealings and a laptop purportedly belonging to him in order to ensure an investigation ‘free from political interference.’ In a letter sent to Barr, obtained by Fox News, Buck, R-Colo., urged him to ‘appoint a Special Counsel to investigate Mr. Hunter Biden’s conduct and the contents of his laptop that is currently in the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s possession.'”

“‘This investigation is critical to defending the integrity of our republic and ensuring a potential Biden Administration will not be the subject of undue foreign interference,’ Buck wrote. ‘Americans have the right to know whether Mr. Biden’s reported ties to foreign governments will make him the subject of blackmail attempts or other nefarious efforts to undermine U.S. national security or otherwise improperly influence American foreign policy.’ Buck noted that the attorney general has the ability to appoint a special counsel to ‘investigate and prosecute any matter that would present a conflict of interest for the Department or other extraordinary circumstances.’ ‘Similar to when the DOJ appointed Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III, it is critical that this investigation continue free from political interference, no matter who is in the White House,’ Buck wrote. ‘We must guarantee the integrity of our government and the security of our republic.'”
