WASHINGTON (AP) — Prosecutors pushed back Monday against Hunter Biden's move to subpoena documents from Donald Trump and former Justice Department officials in the firearms case filed against the president's son.
They argued that Hunter Biden doesn't have enough evidence to support his claims of potential political interference in the criminal investigation against him and urged a judge to reject the subpoena requests.
The investigation into Hunter Biden’s taxes and a gun purchase began in 2018, while Trump, a Republican, was still president.
The charges against Hunter Biden allege he broke laws against drug users having guns in 2018.
No new tax charges have yet been filed, but the special counsel overseeing the case has indicated they are possible in California, where Hunter Biden lives.
