House lawmakers investigating whether the Justice Department suppressed an investigation into President Biden and his son Hunter Biden have subpoenaed Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf, whom whistleblowers say steered the FBI and IRS away from probing the Bidens.
David Weiss, the Delaware U.S. attorney and now special counsel assigned to investigate Hunter Biden on tax fraud and gun crimes, told House investigators he was denied special attorney authority that he sought from the Justice Department.
House Republicans on Wednesday subpoenaed Hunter Biden and James Biden the president's son and brother as well as Biden family business associate Rob Walker as their impeachment investigation ramps up.
Special counsel David Weiss said in an interview with House lawmakers Tuesday that he had full authority over his investigation of Hunter Biden and then refused to answer other questions about the ongoing probe.
Hunter Biden blamed Republicans Thursday for weaponizing his cocaine and alcohol addictions through "fruitless congressional investigations" and waging a "disinformation" campaign against his father, President Biden.
