New York Times: Prosecutors insisted on harsher Hunter Biden plea deal around time IRS whistleblowers came forward

Special counsel David Weiss appeared to be willing to end the Hunter Biden probe earlier this year without any charges for the president’s son, but seems to have changed his mind around the time two IRS whistleblowers accused the Justice Department of stonewalling the case and giving Hunter Biden special treatment, The New York Times reported on Saturday.

It’s unclear if Weiss actually changed course because of the whistleblowers.
