Judge Scolds DOJ for Shielding Biden Probe Attorneys While Jailing Trump Aide Over Subpoena
• Federal judge Ana Reyes scolded the DOJ for not allowing attorneys involved in the Hunter Biden probe to testify before Congress, accusing them of hypocrisy for jailing others who flout subpoenas.
• Reyes referenced the case of former Trump official Peter Navarro, who was jailed for contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena from the House Jan. 6 committee.
• The House Judiciary Committee filed a lawsuit seeking to force attorneys Mark Daly and Jack Morgan to testify as part of an impeachment inquiry into President Biden related to Hunter's business dealings.
• Daly and Morgan could shed light on whether Biden tried to protect Hunter from prosecution, but likely can invoke privileges to avoid answering certain questions.
• Reyes ordered the House counsel and DOJ to negotiate for 4 hours next week to settle their disagreements out of court rather than continue a "grudge match."
