Republican Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana questioned Attorney General Merrick Garland at a congressional hearing about the Biden administration’s handling of allegations against President Biden’s son, Hunter. Kennedy accused the Department of Justice (DOJ) of allowing the statute of limitations to expire on Hunter Biden’s alleged tax crimes, preventing him from being prosecuted. Garland responded by pointing out that the investigation into Hunter Biden’s actions was initiated during the previous administration and is being handled by a special counsel appointed by President Trump. Garland emphasized that the current administration is not interfering with the investigation and that the special counsel will issue a report on the matter.
In another instance, Attorney General Garland came to President Biden’s defense by asserting that the 81-year-old president is not impaired and has effectively led meetings. He expressed confidence in Biden’s ability to guide the country, despite public concerns about his age and fitness for office. A 64 percent of Americans, including nearly half of Democrats, believe Biden is too old to serve another term, and half of those surveyed are worried about his mental and physical health. This further raises questions about the Biden administration’s handling of controversial issues.
