Hunter Biden asks
judge to subpoena
Trump, former
officials in gun case

I want to talk to the guy that paid Hunter Biden’s taxes: Rep. Jim Jordan
Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, discusses the House issuing subpoenas to Hunter Biden, James Biden and Rob Walker for testimony over finances on ‘Sunday
Morning Features.’

Hunter Biden's legal team called on the judge overseeing his Delaware firearm charges
case to subpoena former President Donald Trump and several former Trump
administration officials on Wednesday.

Biden attorney Abbe Lowell argues that the investigation into the president's son arose
only due to "incessant, improper, and partisan pressure." In addition to Trump, Biden is
seeking subpoenas against former Attorney General Bill Barr, former acting Deputy AG
Richard Donoghue and former acting AG Jeffrey Rosen.

"The initial investigation was born out of a wider probe into Mr. Biden’s taxes and foreign
business dealings, " the request reads. "Public reporting reveals certain instances that
appear to suggest incessant, improper, and partisan pressure applied by then President
Trump to Messrs. Rosen, Donoghue, and Barr in relation to an investigation of Mr. Biden."

"Mr. Biden seeks specific information from three former DOJ officials and the former
President that goes to the heart of his defense that this is, possibly, a vindictive or
selective prosecution arising from an unrelenting pressure campaign beginning in the last
administration, in violation of Mr. Biden’s Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution,"
it continued.

Trump's legal team has yet to respond to Biden's move. The others named in the request
have also yet to respond.

Biden's gun crimes trial is not set to begin until after January 2024. He faces up to 25
years in prison if convicted on all charges. He faces one count of making a false
statement in the purchase of a firearm; another of making a false statement related to
information required to be kept by a federal firearms licensed dealer; and one other count
of possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a
controlled substance.

This summer, Biden agreed to plead guilty to misdemeanor tax charges and would have
also avoided prosecution on the gun charges had he stayed out of trouble for two years. It
was the culmination of a yearslong investigation by federal prosecutors into the business
dealings of the president's son, and the agreement would have dispensed with criminal
proceedings and spared the Bidens weeks of headlines as the election loomed.
