Thirty Republican senators have written to Attorney General Merrick Garland and asked him to appoint a special counsel to look into Hunter Biden's business dealings.
The letter points to Garland's request to keep politics out of the Justice Department and cites reports from Senator Chuck Grassley, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, that '"highly credible" whistleblowers have come forward to detail a "widespread effort within the FBI to downplay or discredit negative information" about Hunter Biden.'
The senators, which includes Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell, urge Garland to give U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who has been investigating President Joe Biden's only living son, the powers that come with the special counsel appointment.
The senators argue the desigation would allow Weiss to 'allow him to investigate an appropriate scope of potentially criminal conduct, avoid the appearance of improperity, and provide additional reassurances to the American people that the Hunter Biden investigation is free from political influence.'
'This is one important action that you can take that will go a long way to restoring faith in our governmental institutions,' the senators write.
