Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett accused Special Counsel David Weiss of conducting a “whitewash” in the investigation into alleged corruption involving members of the Biden family.
During an appearance on “The Evening Edit,” Jarrett said Weiss overlooked serious accusations of “influence peddling” and allowed critical statutes of limitation to expire. The discussion centers on the halted investigation into President Joe Biden’s involvement, with Weiss now saying there was no preferential treatment despite his report detailing numerous corrupt foreign dealings, particularly in China and Ukraine.
“David Weiss ignored the larger crimes of influence peddling. He let statutes expire, tipped off defense attorneys, scuttled raids. He halted any investigation about Joe’s involvement, and incredibly Weiss now insists, ‘Oh, gee. There was no preferential treatment,’ and yet his report outlines many of the corrupt foreign deals. China, Ukraine, the list goes on and on,” Jarrett said. “These were obvious crimes, but never charged. So the Weiss coverup continues. This is a whitewashed report.”
Jarrett was asked whether President-elect Donald Trump should take drastic measures and release all related records from the National Archives, all to expose the extent of the alleged corruption.
“I absolutely would,” Jarrett said.
