The House Judiciary Committee Republicans have taken legal action against the Justice Department, demanding the testimony of two line attorneys involved in the Hunter Biden investigation.
This significant move aims to compel insights from Mark Daly and Jack Morgan, whose expertise centers on the tax inquiries linked to Hunter Biden, mainly focusing on the years 2014 and 2015.
In a statement, the committee said, “The Judiciary Committee is investigating whether the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is committed to impartial justice in light of evidence that it has given Robert Hunter Biden (Hunter Biden), President Joseph Biden’s son, favorable treatment. To craft effective legislative reforms and to determine whether President Biden has committed an impeachable offense, it must have all the facts. And to uncover all the facts, the Committee requires testimony from both Mark Daly and Jack Morgan, two current or former Tax Division attorneys who have firsthand knowledge of the irregularities in DOJ’s investigation that appear to have benefited Hunter Biden.”
Despite previous subpoenas and the charges against Hunter Biden in California, the DOJ’s refusal to allow the attorneys to participate in voluntary interviews has escalated the dispute. The Committee argues, “After DOJ refused to make Daly and Morgan available for voluntary interviews with the Committee, the Committee subpoenaed them to appear for depositions. But they defied the Subpoenas because their employer, DOJ, directed them not to appear.”
In a letter back in February, the Justice Department said they had “already taken extraordinary steps that address your interest in this matter, including authorizing testimony by six senior Department officials. One of those individuals was Special Counsel [David] Weiss, who testified he was responsible for deciding whether and when to bring charges and resolved the Committee’s questions about improper interference.”
