WASHINGTON—Special counsel David Weiss says he asked the U.S. Department of Justice for an elevated position while investigating President Joe Biden’s son but was denied, a top lawmaker said on Nov. 7.
“He requested. He was not given that request, and never had that authority throughout the time,” Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, told reporters after Mr. Weiss answered questions behind closed doors in Washington.
