The Department of Justice agreed to allow two FBI agents to appear before the House Judiciary Committee for behind-closed-doors transcribed interviews after the committee subpoenaed the pair of agents last week over the department's investigation into Hunter Biden.
FBI special agent Thomas Sobocinski met with Chairman Jim Jordan and committee staff for an interview on Thursday and was accompanied by department counsel, committee staff confirmed. Special agent Ryeshia Holley's interview is set for next week.The voluntary interviews come after Jordan had initially subpoenaed the pair for depositions. The depositions would have prevented the FBI agents from being able to appear alongside department counsel, per U.S. House rules.
Jordan detailed why he was interested in the two agents in correspondence to the pair last month. He noted that they both worked out of the FBI's Baltimore Field Office, which has jurisdiction over the FBI's Wilmington office, where DOJ's investigation of Biden was based. Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Weiss as special counsel last month, saying the decision came after Weiss, who has been leading the investigation of Biden since 2019, requested the authority a few days prior.
