\nMcCarthy, author of the 2019 book which detailed the Trump-Russia collusion hoax called \u201cBall of Collusion,\u201d wrote that he \u201cdespise[s]\u201d the institution of an independent prosecutor. But the Biden administration\u2019s own DOJ must avoid the possibility or perception of interference, given the growing number of damning revelations from Hunter Biden\u2019s now-authenticated laptop about shady international business.
\nHunter Biden is currently being investigated by the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office for the District of Delaware, reportedly over tax issues that may involve huge, unreported payments from foreign sources while his father was vice president. The top federal prosecutor in the Delaware office, David Weiss was an appointee of former President Trump.
\n\u201cWe put the investigation into the hands of a Trump appointee from the previous administration, the U.S. attorney for the District of Delaware, and because you have me as attorney general who is committed to the independence of the justice department from any influence from the White House in criminal matters,\u201d Garland told senators in testimony.
\n\u201cTrust in Garland is not the issue. The conflict, and straightforward application of the regulation, take the matter out of the attorney general\u2019s hands. It is in the public interest to have a lawyer from outside the president\u2019s own Justice Department lead the investigation of the president\u2019s son \u2014 and perhaps the president\u2019s own conduct,\u201d wrote McCarthy, who noted \u201cmillions of dollars allegedly poured into the Biden family, not just the president\u2019s son, from foreign sources tied to notoriously corrupt governments (Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Mexico) and authoritarian regimes that are hostile to the United States (China and Russia).\u201d
\n\u201cThe longer Biden\u2019s attorney general fights that reality, the more it increases suspicion that the president\u2019s hands may not be clean,\u201d McCarthy wrote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Andrew McCarthy, Fox News contributor and former federal prosecutor, said the case for an independent probe is \u201cbulletproof,\u201d after calling for Attorney General Merrick Garland to appoint a special counsel to investigate the Biden family\u2019s potential corruption.
