Hunter Biden Criticizes Merrick Garland's Appointment as Attorney General

Hunter Biden, son of former President Joe Biden, expressed his disapproval of Merrick Garland's appointment as U.S. Attorney General, calling it the "greatest mistake" of his father's administration during an appearance on the "I've Had It" podcast. He criticized Garland and the Department of Justice for not prosecuting former President Donald Trump and for the investigation into his own activities. Hunter Biden stated, "The reason that we are in the situation that we're in right now can almost... by the way, the buck has to stop with my dad. He was the president and he chose him." He further claimed that Garland's failure to prosecute Trump regarding the January 6 Capitol riots was a significant oversight, describing it as a "planned conspiracy" by the Trump administration to undermine the 2020 election. Both Hunter Biden and podcast host Jennifer Welch characterized Garland as a moderate chosen to appeal to Republicans, suggesting that President Biden's decision was influenced by a desire to support Garland after his previous nomination for the Supreme Court by former President Barack Obama.
