"The President's characterizations are incorrect based on the facts in this case, and, on a more fundamental level, they are wrong," wrote the special counsel, David Weiss, in a report submitted to Attorney General Merrick Garland.

The report formally capped a yearslong criminal inquiry that resulted in Hunter Biden's conviction on a raft of tax and gun charges.
