House Republicans Request Interviews With DOJ Officials in Hunter Biden Investigation

House Republicans are asking the Justice Department to make available for interviews 11 federal officials — including U.S. Attorney David Weiss — in connection with the decision earlier this month to charge Hunter Biden with tax and gun violations, according to a letter Thursday from the chairs of the House Judiciary, Oversight and Ways and Means Committees that was obtained by CBS News.

The joint letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland requests that Weiss — appointed U.S. attorney for Delaware by former President Donald Trump and retained during the Biden administration to complete the Hunter Biden investigation — and other Justice Department and FBI officials including Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf start planning to appear for closed-door, transcribed interviews with Congress by July 13, adding, “the Committees will otherwise resort to compulsory process to obtain the required testimony.”

The request to conduct interviews comes after two IRS agents came forward alleging the investigation into President Joe Biden’s son was given special treatment.
