A pair of Republican chairmen subpoenaed four officials at the FBI and IRS on Monday to appear before Congress for depositions related to the Justice Department's investigation of Hunter Biden, escalating a fight over access to investigators into the president's son.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan and House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith wrote in letters accompanying the subpoenas, which were obtained by the Washington Examiner, that they believed the officials had information about a critical meeting last year attended by special counsel David Weiss, the lead prosecutor in Hunter Biden's case.
The other two subpoenas were sent by Smith to IRS Director of Field Operations Michael Batdorf and IRS Special Agent in Charge Darrell Waldon, both of whom, Smith said, had key information about the same October 7 meeting. DOJ's inquiry, led by Weiss, nearly ended in a plea deal that would have involved the younger Biden pleading guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and entering into a pretrial diversion agreement to avoid a felony gun charge.
