Biden Nominates Former Hunter Biden Law Firm Colleague As Special Counsel

President Biden has nominated Hampton Dellinger, who previously worked alongside Hunter Biden at a law firm involved with energy company Burisma Holdings, to serve as special counsel.
The White House announced the move in a Tuesday press release as the term of Henry Kerner, the position’s current occupant, expires. The Office of Special Counsel is primarily responsible for safeguarding the “merit system by protecting federal employees and applicants from prohibited personnel practices, especially reprisal for whistleblowing,” its website states.
Biden previously nominated Dellinger as an assistant attorney general overseeing the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Policy, a position he held between October 2021 and June 2023. Dellinger had also previously donated to Biden’s candidacy.
