House GOP leaders subpoenaed Homeland Security chief Alejandro
Mayorkas and other officials Tuesday over allegations President
Biden’s aides were tipped off about plans to interview first son
Hunter.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) targeted
the Homeland honcho seeking documents about the probe into
Hunter Biden’s alleged tax-dodging and weapons antics, as well
as subpoenaed three Department of Homeland Security and two
Secret Service officials to testify.

“The Department of Justice initiated the Biden family cover-up
and now DHS under the leadership of Secretary Mayorkas is
complicit in it,” Comer said in a statement.

“Investigators were never able to interview Hunter Biden during
the criminal investigation because Secret Service headquarters
and the Biden transition team were tipped off about the planned
interview,” the leading Republican said.

Underpinning Comer’s scathing accusations is IRS whistleblower
testimony from agents Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, who
appeared publicly before the panel in June.

“December 7th, 2020, I was informed that FBI headquarters had
notified Secret Service headquarters and the [Biden] transition
team about the planned actions the following day,” Shapley
testified to the Ways and Means Committee on May 26.

“This essentially tipped off a group of people very close to
President Biden and Hunter Biden and gave this group an
opportunity to obstruct the approach on the witnesses,” Shapley
said.

Hunter allegedly dodged paying $1.2 million in federal income
taxes several years ago and had an illegal gun while addicted to
drugs.

FBI and IRS investigators wanted to interview him Dec. 8, 2020,
without advance notice but ultimately, after the tip off, the
interview never happened, according to Shapley.

Shapley’s testimony was corroborated by an FBI whistleblower.

Comer’s document demand targeting Mayorkas is calling for
communications about the Hunter Biden probe by members of his
department or former members between Dec. 1 and Dec. 31, 2020.

Additionally, he is seeking material pertaining to a June 29,
2023, letter he sent demanding interviews with members of the
Secret Service about the Hunter Biden probe. He said his panel
did not receive “an adequate response” on time.

The Secret Service is housed under the DHS, which is why Comer
is directing some of the subpoenas at the department.

A DHS official said the department is “working to respond to
this inquiry appropriately, including identifying the relevant
information and individuals.”

The official said Comer’s insinuation that the department
“obstructed or withheld a response is categorically false and
these subpoenas are entirely without basis.”

Ultimately, the Hunter Biden probe culminated in a prospective
plea agreement. Under the deal, Hunter would plead guilty to two
misdemeanors for willful failure to pay federal income taxes and
a pretrial diversion agreement over a felony charge for illegal
possession of a firearm while addicted to illicit drugs.

But that agreement imploded in federal Delaware court July 26.

US District Judge Maryellen Noreika, a Trump appointee, tore
apart the agreement by raising constitutional concerns and
exposing daylight between Hunter Biden’s defense team and
federal prosecutors over the extent of his immunity.

As a result, Hunter entered a not guilty plea. Delaware US
Attorney David Weiss, who led the probe, was elevated to special
counsel status last month.

This means that he can charge the younger Biden for crimes
outside his jurisdiction.

Last month, Hunter Biden’s defense lawyer, Abbe Lowell, who has
helped him navigate the onslaught of congressional probes, took
the lead in his defense against the federal investigation.

Comer has separately long been spearheading the House
Republicans’ deep dive into the Biden family’s overseas business
dealings.

This includes the IRS whistleblower testimony alleging an array
of irregularities in the five-year investigation of the first
son.

The White House has rebuked Comer over the spate of inquiries.

“The James Comer playbook is simple,” White House spokesman Ian
Sams tweeted in June. “Make sweeping claims and promise
bombshells to try to get media attention, then fail to deliver
the goods.

“Don’t fall for it. His repeated pattern of laundering thin
innuendo without evidence has cost him his credibility.”

Biden maintains he has never spoken to his son about Hunter’s
lucrative business endeavors overseas.
