David Weiss, the federal attorney who investigated and prosecuted Hunter Biden, quietly resigned in January. His resignation was confirmed by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Delaware and the Justice Department. Sources familiar with the matter said Weiss resigned voluntarily. He was succeeded by acting U.S. Attorney Shannon T. Hanson. Weiss’s resignation followed the release of his final report on Biden, in which he criticized President Joe Biden for pardoning his son. The report was made public on January 13, and in response to the pardon, Weiss expressed that politicians who attack decisions of career prosecutors undermine the criminal justice system. He argued that the president’s criticism of the case against his son was based on false accusations and unfairly impugned the integrity of Department of Justice personnel. The cases brought by Weiss against Hunter Biden resulted in a guilty verdict on gun-related charges in Delaware and a guilty plea on tax and fraud charges in California. Hunter Biden was scheduled to be sentenced in December 2024 for both cases. The resignation of David Weiss, who was not asked to resign, adds to the ongoing controversy surrounding the investigation and prosecution of Hunter Biden.
