Special Counsel David Weiss rejected claims from President Joe Biden and Democrats that he selectively prosecuted Hunter Biden in court filings. He also objected to dismissing charges following a sweeping pardon.

President Biden granted his son a “full and unconditional pardon” on Sunday evening after he and members of his administration claimed for months that he would not pardon his son’s convictions for federal gun and tax crimes.

In announcing the pardon, President Biden claimed that “raw politics … infected” his son’s case, The Hill reported.

“There was none and never has been any evidence of vindictive or selective prosecution in this case,” Weiss wrote in court filings.

Weiss’s comments follow Hunter Biden’s announcement of his pardon to a California federal court. The younger Biden is requesting the dismissal of his tax case there. Hunter Biden, convicted of federal firearms crimes during the summer, made a similar plea offer in Delaware.

In the filing, the special counsel said that instead of dropping the charges right away, the court should accept a pardon as the final decision, which would end all proceedings and end the case. The distinction seems to be mostly procedural.
