Smith Calls on Garland and Weiss to submit testimony prior to 7/26

While considering whether to accept or reject Hunter Biden’s recently announced plea deal on tax and gun charges, the Judge ought to have all of the relevant information, including recently released IRS whistleblower testimony, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (MO-08) wrote in a letter today to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and U.S. Attorney for the District of Delaware David Weiss. Rather than hide relevant information, Smith calls on Garland and Weiss to submit the materials into the formal court record ahead of the July 26, 2023, scheduled plea hearing:

“Over the course of a single week in June, the existence of a plea agreement in this matter became public, a plea hearing was scheduled, and the Committee submitted whistleblower testimony to the full House. Given the abruptness of the plea agreement announcement shortly after it became public that whistleblowers made disclosures to Congress, the seriousness of the whistleblower allegations, and the fact that multiple congressional investigations into the matter are ongoing, we ask that you file this letter and the attached information in the docket…Placing the attached materials into the record is critical because the testimony provided by the two IRS whistleblowers brings new and compelling facts to light, and because it is essential for the Judge in this matter to have relevant information before her when evaluating the plea agreement,” wrote Chairman Smith.
