Republicans have filed a lawsuit against two DOJ officials for disregarding subpoenas in the Hunter Biden investigation

Republicans Take Legal Action Against DOJ Officials in Hunter Biden Investigation

House Republicans filed ⁤a lawsuit on Thursday against two Department of Justice officials involved in prosecuting Hunter Biden. The officials defied subpoenas by avoiding depositions, prompting the House Judiciary Committee to push for compliance through legal ‌means.

Details‍ of the Lawsuit

The lawsuit targets senior‍ litigation counsel Mark Daly and trial attorney‍ Jack Morgan from the DOJ Tax Division. The committee has been striving to ‌secure their testimonies regarding the Biden case, facing resistance from the DOJ.

Despite several attempts, the⁣ DOJ cited various reasons for prohibiting Daly⁢ and Morgan‍ from testifying, including potential⁣ risks to ongoing legal matters. The House Judiciary Committee objected to these justifications, emphasizing the importance of⁢ truthful depositions.

The Committee’s Argument

• The committee invokes⁢ the House’s impeachment inquiry, aiming to uncover potential preferential ⁤treatment ⁣towards Hunter Biden and⁣ any undue⁢ influence on DOJ decisions.
• Emphasizing the urgency of ⁤the testimonies, the attorneys stress⁤ the necessity to conclude their fact-finding mission promptly.

Allegations of undercharging Hunter Biden led the⁢ committee attorneys to request specific testimonies on timelines and decision-making processes surrounding the tax charges.

The lawsuit asks for a preliminary injunction to compel Daly and Morgan to address critical aspects of the investigation⁢ promptly.

The Washington Examiner has sought comments from the‌ DOJ regarding the unfolding legal developments.
