Special counsel David Weiss, who is investigating Hunter Biden, once partnered in 2010 with the late Beau Biden, then the Delaware attorney general.
Beau Biden was Hunter's older brother and is President Joe Biden's late son, but the ties between prosecutor and Biden family further adds to the allegations of Weiss' conflicts of interest in being assigned to look into Hunter Biden's improprieties, The Washington Post reported.
"We will continue to aggressively pursue all types of fraud in order to protect the public," Weiss once wrote in a joint statement with Beau Biden on a fraud case.
Weiss might have been appointed by former President Donald Trump's administration to oversee a Hunter Biden investigation — as Democrats frequently are quick to point out — but Weiss served two years as an acting U.S. attorney under President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden and remained a top deputy through their administration, the Post reported.
