Jim Jordan demands the subpoena of DOJ tax officials assigned to the Hunter Biden case.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Subpoenas DOJ Employees in Hunter Biden Investigation
In an exclusive move, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) has issued subpoenas to two long-serving employees of the Department of Justice Tax Division. These individuals were involved in the department’s extensive investigation into President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter.
The subpoenas, which have been reviewed by the Washington Examiner, require senior litigation counsel Mark Daly and trial attorney Jack Morgan to appear for depositions before the committee on September 27 and September 28, respectively.
Republican Threat Looms Large for Biden Following Impeachment Inquiry
Back in June, House Republicans had requested interviews with 13 individuals, including Daly and Morgan, as part of their inquiry into allegations of preferential treatment received by Hunter Biden from the DOJ during their five-year investigation. However, the DOJ had initially pushed back on these interview requests, citing policies of not sharing nonpublic information and leaving congressional interviews to appropriate supervisory personnel.
Due to the DOJ’s resistance, Chairman Jordan decided to subpoena Daly and Morgan, leading to negotiations between the department and the committee. Eventually, an arrangement was reached, allowing Jordan to question the officials while the DOJ could have department counsel present.
Transcripts of these interviews, obtained by the Washington Examiner, have provided some corroboration for allegations made by whistleblowers. These include claims that the investigation into Hunter Biden moved too slowly and that special counsel David Weiss was prevented from bringing charges against him in Washington, D.C., and California.
While Daly and Morgan are expected to possess further information on the matter, it remains uncertain whether the DOJ will comply with the subpoenas. The department has declined to comment on the issue.
According to Gary Shapley, an IRS criminal investigator, Daly initially presented a case against Biden to the office of U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves of Washington, D.C. However, Daly later changed his stance, stating that Graves did not want to pursue the case.
Morgan, who worked closely with Daly, was alleged to have presented reasons in a meeting as to why charges should not be brought against the president’s son.
The Republicans’ inquiry into the DOJ has now become part of a broader impeachment inquiry launched by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). The focus of this inquiry is allegations of Joe Biden’s inappropriate involvement in his son’s business dealings. Republicans argue that the inquiry is necessary to gather evidence that could prove Joe Biden’s guilt of impeachable offenses.
Regarding the DOJ’s investigation, special counsel David Weiss recently brought three felony charges against Hunter Biden for illegal possession of a gun while being addicted to drugs. However, House Republicans widely believe that these charges are insufficient.

What challenges did House Republicans face in obtaining interviews with individuals involved in the five-year investigation, and how does the issuance of these subpoenas overcome those challenges?
Ew developments in the ongoing investigation into Hunter Biden’s involvement with the Department of Justice. As the House Judiciary Committee continues to delve into allegations of potential preferential treatment, these subpoenas demonstrate the Republican party’s determination to uncover the truth.
The subpoenas require Mark Daly and Jack Morgan, two key figures in the DOJ Tax Division’s investigation into Hunter Biden, to appear before the committee for depositions on September 27 and 28, respectively. This move by Chairman Jim Jordan is significant, as it marks a direct challenge to the Department of Justice and its handling of the investigation.
This latest development comes on the heels of a request made by House Republicans back in June, requesting interviews with 13 individuals, including Daly and Morgan. The purpose of these interviews was to shed light on allegations of preferential treatment received by Hunter Biden during the five-year investigation. However, the DOJ initially pushed back on these interview requests, citing policies on non-disclosure and the involvement of appropriate supervisory personnel in congressional interviews.
Despite the DOJ’s resistance, Chairman Jordan has decided to pursue subpoena power, signaling the seriousness of the allegations and the determination of the Republican party to get to the bottom of the issue. The subpoenas demonstrate a clear intent to hold the DOJ accountable and ensure transparency in the investigation.
The investigation into Hunter Biden has been a topic of interest and controversy for some time. The involvement of a prominent politician’s family member and the potential for preferential treatment have raised concerns among Republicans and some members of the public. These subpoenas are seen as a significant step forward in uncovering the truth and addressing any potential wrongdoing.
It is important to note that these subpoenas do not automatically imply guilt or wrongdoing on the part of Daly, Morgan, or the Department of Justice. Rather, they serve as a means to gather pertinent information and testimonies that will facilitate a comprehensive and fair examination of the allegations.
Moving forward, the depositions of Daly and Morgan will likely shed light on the specific actions taken by the DOJ during the course of the investigation. It is crucial for the committee to obtain a clear understanding of the department’s decision-making process, any possible bias, and whether Hunter Biden received any preferential treatment.
As the Biden administration continues to face challenges and scrutiny, this investigation presents yet another obstacle and a potential threat to the President’s credibility. The House Judiciary Committee is a powerful tool in the hands of the Republican party, and Chairman Jordan’s decision to issue these subpoenas highlights the ambition of his party to hold the administration accountable.
In conclusion, the subpoenas issued by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan to DOJ employees Mark Daly and Jack Morgan in the Hunter Biden investigation are significant developments in the ongoing inquiry. These subpoenas demonstrate the Republican party’s determination to uncover the truth and hold the Department of Justice accountable. The depositions of Daly and Morgan will provide valuable insights into the actions taken and decisions made during the investigation. This investigation represents a potential threat to President Biden’s credibility, and the House Judiciary Committee’s efforts will likely shape the future of this ongoing saga.
