Last month, Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed U.S. Attorney David Weiss — who has been investigating Biden’s financial and business dealings since 2019 — to serve as special counsel in the investigation into Biden. The designation came after Weiss told Garland that his investigation “had reached a stage at which he should continue his work as a special counsel,” the attorney general said.
Authorities charged Biden in connection with a Colt Cobra 38 special revolver that he had for 11 days beginning on Oct. 12, 2018. According to court records, Biden claimed on a form that he “was not an unlawful user of, and addicted to, any stimulant, narcotic drug, and any other controlled substance.”
