Sen. Chuck Grassley grilled Attorney General Merrick Garland during a Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday about the independence of the federal Hunter Biden probe.
But Garland has come under scrutiny for not elevating Weiss to special counsel status to ensure his independence. On Wednesday, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, pressed Garland on what would happen if Weiss needed to pursue the case against Biden outside his Delaware jurisdiction.

Garland conceded that Weiss would have to refer the case to another district in that case, though he maintained that the decision on whether to make an outside referral is entirely up to Weiss.
