House Republicans filed a lawsuit against two DOJ tax officials who were involved in the prosecution of Hunter Biden, saying the officials defied subpoenas.
The House Judiciary Committee asked in its complaint that the U.S. District Court in, force the officials, both of whom work in the DOJ Tax Division, to comply with the subpoenas and meet with the committee for interviews.
The committee has been engaged for several months in a tedious back-and-forth with the DOJ about obtaining testimony from Daly and Morgan, but the department has resisted allowing the depositions.numerous reasons for objecting to the pair testifying, including that the department does not permit line-level employees to testify, particularly about open matters such as the Biden case.
“The duty to comply with the Subpoenas is separate from any duty to disclose purportedly privileged material,” attorneys for the committee wrote in the court filings. “The Committee’s need for Daly’s and Morgan’s testimony is urgent,” the House attorneys wrote. “Every day that they defy the Committee’s Subpoenas delays and hinders its investigation at a time when the Committee is seeking to conclude its fact gathering.”
