We theoretically study the localized magnetic states and the Kondo screening of a magnetic impurity in the bulk of Weyl semimetals (SMs). The linear dispersion near the Weyl nodes and the anomalous broadening of the impurity level lead to a nonvanishing magnetic moment in a wide region of parameters. The magnetic susceptibility is significantly enhanced by increasing the chirality imbalance for the chemical potential fixed at the Weyl nodes. The Kondo effect takes place whenever the chemical potential is tuned away from the nodes. The low-temperature susceptibility is determined by both the Kondo screening and the broadening of the magnetic impurity level. In the presence of chiral anomaly, the Kondo screening displays opposite behaviors for the chemical potential situated below and above the Weyl nodes. The magnetic susceptibility can be tuned by the charge imbalance of the nodes, which provides a scheme to study the chiral anomaly in Weyl SMs.
