Among the individuals who received subpoenas were Michael Batdorf, the head of the IRS' field operations division, Darrell Waldon, the agency's special agent in charge, Thomas Sobocinski, and Ryeshia Holley, an assistant special agent in charge.
The chairs of the committee, Jim Jordan and Jason Smith, have criticized the lack of cooperation from the Biden Administration. They believe the former vice president's son, Hunter, received preferential treatment from the federal prosecutors. They also believe that the appointment a special counsel to look into the matter, who was involved in the plea deal, raises more questions regarding the investigation's fairness.
According to a report, Hunter Biden's lawyers threatened the Department of Justice. They asked that President Biden testify in court if he was charged with a serious offense. This incident adds to the intrigue surrounding the investigation into his activities.
