Philadelphia U.S. Attorney Faces Allegations of Retaliation in Hunter Biden Case

Jacqueline Romero, appointed by President Joe Biden, is accused of retaliating against a prosecutor investigating Hunter Biden, raising questions about impartiality.

  • Philadelphia U.S. Attorney Jacqueline Romero, nominated by President Biden, allegedly retaliated against Assistant U.S. Attorney Derek Hines for joining the Hunter Biden investigation.
  • Romero and her deputy, Nelson Thayer, are accused of limiting Hines' access to his office, a move seen by some as a power trip.
  • Romero and Thayer have both donated to Democratic campaigns, including Joe Biden's, raising concerns about potential conflicts of interest.
  • The alleged retaliation is expected to be investigated by House panels leading an impeachment inquiry into the Biden family.
  • The case against Hunter Biden includes tax and gun charges, with trials scheduled for later this year.
