President Joe Biden nominated Graves to be the D.C. U.S. attorney in July 2021. Graves was confirmed in October 2021 after working in the private sector and as an assistant U.S. attorney in nation’s capital, where he handled cases against financial criminals and corrupt individuals, according to his official bio.

In a questionnaire to the Senate Judiciary Committee, Graves listed the top 10 most significant cases he worked on, with four of his top five cases involving financial crime or corruption. …

“During my time in the Fraud and Public Corruption Section, I led investigations that resulted in the foreign and international business organizations that were the subjects of these investigations collectively paying in excess of $2 billion, including successfully resolving two prominent sanctions investigations. I also handled a number of sensitive investigations involving elected officials during my tenure,” Graves said. …

When he worked in the private sector, Graves handled litigation and compliance with sanctions laws, export controls, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) and regulatory practices. As a private sector attorney, Graves advised Joe Biden’s 2020 Democratic presidential campaign, he told Senate Judiciary. He also donated to Joe Biden’s presidential campaign twice, according to FEC records.

IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler testified to the House Ways and Means Committee and accused DOJ prosecutors of taking steps to slow-walk and obstruct the Hunter Biden case. Shapley told the committee Graves blocked Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss from charging Hunter Biden for tax offenses committed in D.C. from 2014-15, resulting in the statute of limitations passing on the younger Biden’s alleged crimes.

In July, Shapley’s attorneys released an email Shapley sent in October 2022, talking about Graves’ alleged refusal to charge Hunter Biden and the DOJ’s alleged refusal to grant Weiss special counsel authority following Graves’ decision. …

Garland has denied Shapley’s accusations of political interference in the Hunter Biden case. The D.C. U.S. Attorney’s office did not respond to the Daily Caller’s request for comment by the time of publication.
