The House Republicans’ overt effort to do… something… to politically damage President Joe Biden’s reelection effort will bring in the US Attorney for Washington, DC, Matt Graves, who declined to team with Delaware US Attorney David Weiss to pursue charges in DC federal court against Hunter Biden, Politico reports.
Two IRS agents earlier told the Republican House performance art troupe that Graves refused Weiss’s request, which would have required Weiss to seek Special Counsel status to file charges in a district other than his own on his own. A US Attorney can refuse to team on an indictment for a number of reasons, including a disagreement on the law, or because a case can take up too many of the local offices resources for a less-than-worthy charge. But Republicans claim that it was a cover-up to help Biden.
