House Committees Subpoena Top IRS, FBI Officials in Hunter Biden Tax ProbeWendell Husebø 22 Aug 2023
House Republicans subpoenaed on Monday four senior IRS and FBI officials who reportedly heard then-Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss say he would not be given special counsel authority and was blocked from charging the president’s son outside Delaware in the Hunter Biden case.
The House Ways and Means Committee and Judiciary Committee compelled testimony from four key individuals who, according to a joint statement, were “present at or with direct knowledge of a meeting on October 7, 2022” where Weiss made that claim:
Michael T. Batdorf, IRS Director of Field Operations
Darrell J. Waldon, IRS Special Agent in Charge
Thomas J. Sobocinski, FBI Special Agent in Charge
Ryeshia Holley, FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge
“Our Committees, along with the Committee on Oversight and Accountability, have sought these interviews since IRS whistleblowers came forward with concerning allegations of political interference in the investigation into Hunter Biden’s foreign influence peddling and tax evasion,” Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) said in a statement.
“Unfortunately, the Biden Administration has consistently stonewalled Congress,” he added, continuing:
Our duty is to follow the facts wherever they may lead, and our subpoenas compelling testimony from Biden Administration officials are crucial to understanding how the President’s son received special treatment from federal prosecutors and who was the ultimate decision maker in the case.
