House Republicans intensify Hunter Biden investigation, seeking interviews with Justice Department officials and lead prosecutor

TL;DR
House Republicans are requesting interviews with 11 federal officials, including U.S. Attorney David Weiss, in connection with the recent charges against Hunter Biden. The request comes after two IRS agents alleged special treatment in the investigation. The Republicans are seeking testimony to assess allegations of politicization and misconduct. The Justice Department has previously denied similar requests, citing prosecutorial norms and the need to protect confidentiality. The investigation into Hunter Biden's tax and gun violations is ongoing, with a plea hearing scheduled for July 26.
