House Republicans have set up numerous interviews in the coming weeks with Department of Justice officials as part of their inquiry into whether the department extended President Joe Biden's son Hunter preferential treatment as it investigated him.
The interviews come as part of a request Chairmen Jim Jordan , Jason Smith , and James Comer made to the DOJ and IRS in June for 13 people to testify before Congress over their involvement in alleged"weaponization of federal law enforcement power" in the Hunter Biden case.Four of the interviews, two with FBI agents and two with IRS agents, have already taken place.
Jordan, who will oversee the interviews, is aiming to speak with special counsel David Weiss, the lead prosecutor in the case, as well as Lesley Wolf, the assistant U.S. attorney under Weiss in Delaware. Wolf has been accused by whistleblowers of taking steps to obstruct federal investigators during their roughly five-year investigation into Hunter Biden.
The four interviews that have taken place so far have corroborated some allegations made by two IRS criminal investigators in May after they came to Congress with frustrations about what they perceived as abnormal activity that hindered their work on the Hunter Biden case. Weiss has since charged the president's son with illegal gun possession charges and is also expected to bring charges against him for failure to pay taxes in two separate years, but the whistleblower and witness testimony indicate more charges would have and still could be appropriate.
