hearings, and i ve covered dozens of them. when a top presidential aide is facing a hostile committee, the lawmakers conduct something of an inquisition, and the witness eventually jabs back at what he or she considers unfair questioning. so the stage was set when the house oversight committee began pummeling merrick garre canland for hours on the hunter biden investigation. but the attorney general was use as a punching bag, he did not punch back. instead, he repeated the same basic answer over and over and over again. he had named david weiss, a delaware federal prosecutor who had been running the investigation, as special counsel and stayed out of it. mr. weiss was a longstanding career prosecutor, was pointed appointed by president trump. i m not permitted to discuss ongoing investigations. mr. weiss is an experienced federal prosecutor with extensive experience and with sufficient credibility to be appointed by president trump. i just have no grounds for interfering.
