Attorney General Merrick Garland on Friday appointed U.S. Attorney David Weiss a special counsel.&nbsp;

"I'm here today to announce the appointment of David Weiss as a special counsel consistent with the Department of Justice regulations governing such matters. In keeping with those regulations, I have today notified the designated members of each House of Congress of the appointment," Garland said.&nbsp;

Weiss is the federal prosecutor who brought charges against President Biden's son Hunter Biden in Delaware.&nbsp;

In July, Weiss announced a probation-only plea agreement for Hunter Biden that was rejected by a federal judge.&nbsp;

His investigation into Biden is ongoing, Garland said.&nbsp;
