House GOP Investigates CIA's Alleged Blockade in Hunter Biden Probe

Whistleblower claims lead to Republican demands for CIA documents by April 4, spotlighting potential interference in tax investigation.

House Republicans are investigating allegations of CIA interference in the Hunter Biden tax probe, following whistleblower claims that the agency blocked investigators from interviewing an associate of Hunter Biden.
The whistleblower alleges that in August 2021, the CIA intervened to prevent IRS and DOJ investigators from interviewing Kevin Morris, a Hollywood lawyer and donor to Democrats, who has financial ties to Hunter Biden.
Republican lawmakers have demanded that CIA Director William Burns provide all documents and communications relating to the DOJ and IRS investigation of Hunter Biden, as well as attempts to interview Morris, by April 4.
The allegations suggest the CIA may have acted to protect Hunter Biden, raising questions about the DOJ's deviation from standard investigative practices.
These developments come amid broader scrutiny of the CIA, including accusations of the agency's involvement in peddling fabricated conspiracies to undermine Republicans.
