Washington CNN —
Special counsel David Weiss appeared to be willing to end the Hunter Biden probe earlier this year without any charges for the president’s son, but seems to have changed his mind around the time two IRS whistleblowers accused the Justice Department of stonewalling the case and giving Hunter Biden special treatment, The New York Times reported on Saturday.
It’s unclear if Weiss actually changed course because of the whistleblowers.
The newspaper cited sources from both sides who were involved in the case, and hundreds of pages of non-public emails between Weiss’ prosecutors and Hunter Biden’s attorneys. Weiss’ spokesman did not comment for the story.
