House Republicans Blast DOJ for Obstructing Biden Impeachment Inquiry
In a stunning display of government obstruction, the Department of Justice has refused to allow two Tax Division officials to testify in the House Republicans’ impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. The DOJ has baselessly blocked senior litigation counsel Mark Daly and trial attorney Jack Morgan from appearing for depositions, despite subpoenas compelling their testimony. This egregious stonewalling has left House Republicans fuming and ready to take action.
House Judiciary Committee Jim Jordan, a stalwart defender of justice and truth, subpoenaed Daly and Morgan to appear for depositions in September, but the depositions mysteriously never transpired. Now, as the DOJ continues to impede the investigation, Republicans are gearing up for a floor vote to formalize their impeachment inquiry with a resolution next week. The resolve of these determined patriots is unwavering, and they are prepared to take further steps, including litigation against the DOJ if necessary.
Hunter Biden investigation: DOJ withholding two officials from testifying #NewsBreak https://t.co/GlqQtVYLZe

Jordan has asserted that the testimony of Daly and Morgan, who were intimately involved in the DOJ’s investigation into Hunter Biden, is crucial to shedding light on potential preferential treatment given to the first son. Whistleblower allegations that Hunter Biden received special treatment to evade certain tax crimes must be thoroughly investigated, and these Tax Division officials hold vital information that the American people deserve to know. The DOJ’s refusal to allow their testimony is an affront to transparency and accountability.
The Department of Justice’s feeble response to the subpoenas reeks of desperation, as it attempted to deflect by offering other senior-level officials to testify before the committee. Their excuse that line attorneys should not answer congressional questions about ongoing investigations falls flat, especially considering their past willingness to allow lower-level employees to testify. The DOJ’s flimsy reasoning for withholding Daly and Morgan has been rightly criticized as wholly inadequate by House Republicans.
As the DOJ engages in a twisted game of delay tactics, the Tax Division appears to be at the center of the storm. Morgan and Daly played pivotal roles in the Hunter Biden investigation and were present at a crucial meeting at DOJ headquarters on prosecution decisions related to the first son. It’s evident that the DOJ is pulling out all the stops to shield Hunter Biden and protect the Biden family from accountability.
House Republicans are relentless in their pursuit of truth and justice. The DOJ’s attempts to obstruct their legitimate inquiry will not deter them. The American people deserve to know the full extent of the Biden family’s dealings, and House Republicans will stop at nothing to ensure transparency and accountability. The Department of Justice may continue to play games, but these dedicated patriots will not rest until the truth is brought to light. The battle for accountability rages on, and House Republicans stand firmly on the side of the American people in the fight for justice.
