House Republicans Subpoena Prosecutor in Hunter Biden Investigation
Lesley Wolf Accused of Interfering in Investigation, Showing Preferential Treatment
- House Republicans have issued a subpoena to Lesley Wolf, an assistant U.S. attorney involved in the criminal investigation into Hunter Biden, demanding answers for what they allege is Justice Department interference in the case.
- Wolf has been accused by whistleblowers from the Internal Revenue Service of 'deviating from standard investigative protocol' and showing preferential treatment because Hunter Biden is the president’s son.
- Republicans claim that the Justice Department's investigation into Hunter Biden, which began in 2018, has been slow-walked and stonewalled.
- Wolf is alleged to have discouraged lines of inquiry that could lead to President Biden, and asked investigators to remove any references to him from a search warrant.
- The House Judiciary Committee has issued the subpoena following several refusals by the Justice Department to have Wolf give voluntary testimony.
