The incident happened suddenly! US Department of Justice strengthens investigation into Biden's son, Merrick Garland | Prosecutor | US Department of Justice
According to the Associated Press, Washington, August 11th, US Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed a special prosecutor for the Hunter Biden investigation that day. This unexpected move will mean strengthening investigations into President Biden's son before the 2024 election.
According to reports, after the plea agreement negotiations broke down, Galan appointed Delaware federal prosecutor David Weiss, who had been investigating Hunter's financial transactions, as the special prosecutor for this case. At the same time, Galan specifically mentioned the "special circumstances" that exist in this case.
The report points out that the sudden turn of events will once again raise concerns about Hunter's charges of tax evasion and possession of firearms without drug rehabilitation. Wes volunteered to serve as a special prosecutor in order to obtain broad authorization to conduct investigations and report his own findings.
US President Biden and Son Hunter
This latest move comes as the Department of Justice takes unprecedented action against former President Donald Trump through two unrelated cases - Trump will be Biden's number one opponent in next year's election. This move will also put doubts surrounding the Biden family at the forefront of the 2024 presidential election.

According to reports, Galan said in a speech at the Ministry of Justice that he hopes the special prosecutor can quickly carry out his work in a "fair and urgent" manner.
Galan said that Wes told him this week that the investigation has reached a stage where he should continue to advance as a special prosecutor. "After considering his demands and the special circumstances related to this case, I conclude that appointing him as a special prosecutor is in the public interest." Weiss was a federal prosecutor appointed during Trump's presidency.
The report points out that announcing the appointment of a special prosecutor is a significant progress for the usually cautious Galan, and will provide Wes with the independence, authorization, and budget needed to advance the investigation. It is currently not entirely clear why Galan took the step of appointing a special prosecutor for the Hunter case. However, the Delaware prosecutor's office also announced on the 11th that the plea agreement negotiations that Wes has been pushing for in the Hunter tax evasion case have reached a deadlock.
