A federal judge scolded the Justice Department on Friday for refusing to allow attorneys involved in the Hunter Biden investigation to comply with subpoenas issued by House Republicans.
The House Judiciary Committee filed a lawsuit last month in the federal District Court in Washington seeking to force DOJ lawyers Mark Daly and Jack Morgan to provide testimony as part of the panel’s impeachment inquiry into President Biden.
The GOP-led panel co-leading the impeachment probe related to the 81-year-old president’s alleged involvement in his family’s business dealings claims the DOJ has “thwarted” efforts by the committee to get depositions from the DOJ Tax Division officials.
District Judge Ana Reyes, an appointee of President Biden, argued that the Justice Department was being hypocritical for instructing Daly and Morgan not to comply with the committee’s subpoenas while throwing others in prison for similar actions.

The impeachment inquiry into the president is also seeking to determine whether Joe Biden pressured the DOJ to tread lightly in its probe of his son, which House investigators believe Morgan and Daly can shed light on.
Reyes ordered House of Representatives general counsel Matthew Berry, who is representing the Judiciary Committee in the lawsuit, and Gilligan to negotiate for four hours next week on ways in which they could settle their disagreements out of court.
“I don’t think the taxpayers want to fund a grudge match between the executive and the legislative,” she said. “Bad cases make bad law … this is a bad, bad case for both of you.”
