The latest steps in the Hunter Biden investigation have led to Americans' increased distrust of how the Department of Justice (DOJ) is acting. According to an ABC News/Ipsos poll conducted Aug. 15-16, nearly half of respondents (48 percent) have no confidence in the judicial investigation into the case of the president's son, up two points from 14 days ago.
20% did not know how to answer, while 32% have some or full confidence in the DOJ – a percentage that fell by three points compared to the last poll.
The poll came just days after Attorney General Merrick Garland named David Weiss as the special prosecutor who will handle the Hunter Biden investigation. It was Weiss who applied to perform this role.
The FBI, being another major player in the investigation, also did not fare well in another survey. Those who do have a good recognition among Americans are , the agents of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) who denounced before Congress that the DOJ prevented them from investigating the businesses of President Biden's son.
