“Madam President, on May 9 of this year, Senator Johnson and I wrote to David Weiss, the U.S. attorney for the District of Delaware. Now, he happens to be in charge of the Hunter Biden criminal case. In that letter, we asked Mr. Weiss a series of threshold questions that Attorney General Garland has repeatedly failed to answer. First, we asked whether Nicholas McQuaid is recused from the Hunter Biden case. As we have said publicly many times, McQuaid is conflicted because he worked with Hunter Biden's criminal attorney before he was hired as a top position in President Biden's Justice Department. Second, we asked Mr. Weiss whether he or any of his employees have had any communications with McQuaid. Third, we asked Mr. Weiss whether any of his employees, not just Mr. McQuaid, are recused from the Hunter Biden case. We asked these questions because the Biden family is from Delaware and has extensive political connections. Notably, Hunter Biden told his business partners: I'll bring suit in the Chancery Court in Delaware--which as you know is my home state and I'm privileged to have worked with and know every judge in the Chancery Court. Does the Biden family have connections to anyone in Mr. Weiss's office? That seems to be a very fair question. With respect to those three questions, Mr. Weiss didn't even try to answer. In fact, the Attorney General jumped in and answered on behalf of U.S. Attorney Weiss. But calling the Attorney General's letter an answer is an overstatement.…”
