EXCLUSIVE: House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer subpoenaed Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and several DHS and Secret Service officials for documents and testimony related to the Secret Service’s alleged tip-off of the Biden transition team regarding a planned Hunter Biden interview in 2020, while also accusing the agencies of obstructing a congressional investigation.
Comer sent a total of six subpoenas Tuesday— one directed to Secretary Mayorkas for documents; and five for depositions—two to Secret Service officials and three to DHS officials.House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky.
"The Department of Homeland Security is obstructing our investigation by muzzling the Secret Service from providing a response to Congress," he explained."The American people deserve transparency, not obstruction." The subpoenas come after whistleblowers testified before Congress this year alleging that prosecutorial decisions made throughout the Hunter Biden investigation, led by now-Special Counsel David Weiss, were influenced by politics.
"Throughout July and August, the Secret Service has provided uncharacteristic delay and opacity responding to this request," Comer wrote to Mayorkas.
