Former Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker questioned Attorney General Merrick Garland's honesty regarding the Hunter Biden investigation on "Hannity." Recent reports suggest that whistleblower testimony might contradict Garland's assurance that Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss had full authority in the investigation. These reports allege Weiss was blocked from pursuing charges in other jurisdictions. Whitaker, who served under President Trump, believes testimony from prosecutors in Washington D.C. and Los Angeles is crucial to uncovering the truth.

Host Sean Hannity pointed out that if these reports are accurate, Garland may have committed perjury. Whitaker agreed, adding that Garland is likely being kept in the dark by officials within the Department of Justice. He suggested that the Deputy Attorney General, who oversees U.S. Attorneys, might be shielding information from Garland. Whitaker argued that these U.S. Attorneys, along with the Assistant Attorney General for the Tax Division, should be brought before Congress to testify alongside the six whistleblowers.

He emphasized the need for transparency, stating the situation "smells really bad." Hannity confirmed that six witnesses have corroborated Weiss's claims of being restricted. Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz agreed with the need for further investigation and suggested that Judge Maryellen Noreika, who is overseeing the plea deal, should summon the six witnesses, Weiss, and Garland to testify. Dershowitz argued that Noreika has a duty to ensure the plea deal is legitimate and not influenced by external pressures. If Noreika discovers Weiss was indeed hampered, the plea deal could be invalidated.
