Secret Service vows to cooperate with Congress on Hunter Biden inquiries.
The Secret Service Committed to Assisting Congress in Hunter Biden Investigation
The Secret Service has expressed its commitment to working closely with Congress in a letter addressed to three House committee chairmen. These chairmen had requested undisclosed numbers of agents to participate in transcribed interviews related to the Hunter Biden investigation.
The assistant director of the Office of Intergovernmental and Legislative Affairs at the Secret Service stated that they are currently looking into the matter and are dedicated to supporting Congress in their investigation.
“We take your inquiry very seriously and need some time to ensure that we are able to address it fully,” the letter reads. “We remain committed to working with Congress to meet its oversight responsibilities and to respond to your request.”
In June, Chairmen James Comer (R-KY) of House Oversight, Jason Smith (R-MO) of Ways and Means, and Jim Jordan (R-OH) of Judiciary requested that several Secret Service agents participate in transcribed interviews with House Oversight Committee staff.
This request for transcribed interviews follows the testimony of two IRS whistleblowers who claimed that the Department of Justice had significantly interfered in Biden’s criminal investigation.
The Secret Service agents who may be asked to participate in transcribed interviews include those who received a “tip-off” on December 7, 2020, that criminal investigators from the IRS intended to interview Hunter Biden.
According to one of the IRS whistleblowers, the “FBI headquarters had notified Secret Service headquarters, and the Biden transition team, about IRS CI’s plan to interview Hunter.” The whistleblower further stated, “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.”
The three chairmen also requested transcribed interviews with 11 DOJ officials, including David Weiss, the lead U.S. attorney on the Biden investigation, and two IRS employees.
A spokesperson for the House Judiciary Committee confirmed that they have initiated the process to schedule the transcribed interviews with the DOJ officials.
