EXCLUSIVE — House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) subpoenaed two longtime employees of the Department of Justice Tax Division on Thursday who were involved with the department's yearslong investigation into President Joe Biden's son Hunter.

The subpoenas, reviewed by the Washington Examiner, required senior litigation counsel Mark Daly and trial attorney Jack Morgan to appear for depositions before the committee on Sept. 27 and Sept. 28, respectively.The pair had been named among 13 people House Republicans asked to interview in June as part of their inquiry into allegations that Hunter Biden received preferential treatment from the DOJ over the course of the department's roughly five-year investigation of him.

Transcripts of those interviews, obtained by the Washington Examiner, corroborated some aspects of allegations leveled by whistleblowers, including that the DOJ's investigation of Hunter Biden had moved too slowly and that special counsel David Weiss, the lead prosecutor in the case, was blocked from bringing charges against the younger Biden in Washington, D.C., and California.

Shapley said Daly at first said Washington, D.C., was interested in taking on the case against Hunter Biden but said that days later, Daly changed his tune and said Graves did not want to.
