David C. Weiss, the special counsel who spent years investigating Hunter Biden, criticized President Biden for making “baseless accusations” about his inquiry that threatened “the integrity of the justice system as a whole” in a final report made public on Monday.
“The president’s characterizations are incorrect based on the facts in this case, and on a more fundamental level, they are wrong,” Mr. Weiss wrote.
His inquiry had been a subject of fierce debate until the president issued a broad pardon that ended the case against his son, saying that the prosecution was the result of “raw politics.”
The report, at some 27 pages, acted as a pointed rejoinder to the president. Citing judicial rulings that found that the case had been fairly brought, Mr. Weiss used his final words on the long-running investigation to decry President Biden’s characterizations.
