Hunter Biden prosecutor accused of 'obstructing' FBI's probe subpoenaed by top Republican exposing politicization in the investigation into Joe's son

Special Counsel David Weiss' top deputy Lesley Wolf has been subpoenaed by Republicans working to expose politicization by the Justice Department in the investigation into Hunter Biden.

Delaware Assistant US Attorney Lesley Wolf is accused of obstructing the FBI from investigating Joe Biden during the probe into his son Hunter's tax crimes.

Multiple whistleblower IRS agents alleged that Wolf shut down any investigation of Joe Biden during the five-year probe into his son's tax crimes, despite evidence linking the president.

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan issued a subpoena Tuesday to Wolf demanding that she appear for a transcribed interview on December 7.

According to the letter accompanying the subpoena to Wolf reviewed by DailyMail.com, Jordan stated the top prosecutor 'deviated from standard investigative procedures' during Hunter's probe.

One of the most egregious deviations, he said, were allegations that Wolf 'tipped off people very close' to Hunter the night before his interview with investigators was set to occur.

The special agent, who worked in the FBI's Wilmington field office, told House Oversight Committee staff in a transcribed interview over the summer that the Biden transition team were tipped off the night before the planned interview of Hunter.

'This was not the original plan by the career agents, which frustrated their investigative efforts because people found out who didn't need to know,' the committee said.

Democrats were quick to dismiss the agent's claim, saying it was common for the FBI and DOJ to disagree about how to proceed with an investigation.

In addition, Jordan listed other instances brought to his attention by whistleblowers, who accused her of 'obstructing' a briefing about an alleged $10 million bribe from a Ukrainian oil executive to Hunter and Joe.

Jordan said that Wolf's work 'prohibiting investigators from asking witnesses about 'the big guy' or 'dad,' presumably referring to President Biden,' is another instance of her obstruction of the investigation.

IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley also said Wolf did not allow a physical search warrant for Hunter's residence despite 'probable cause had been achieved.'

Shapley testified that Wolf decided that the 'question was whether the juice was worth the squeeze,' which she ultimately decided against. 

In addition, he said investigators were told by Wolf and others that they would get in 'hot water' if they tried to speak with President Joe Biden's adult children and grandchildren over the course of their investigation. 

'Given your critical role you played in the investigation of Hunter Biden. you are uniquely situated to shed light on whether President Biden played any role in the Department's investigation and whether he attempted, in any way, to directly or indirectly obstruct ether that investigation or our investigation,' Jordan wrote in the letter reviewed by DailyMail.com.

The DOJ has denied making Wolf available for a deposition on at least two occasions.  

Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy opened a formal impeachment inquiry into President Biden for his alleged connections to Hunter's business dealings, which Republicans say is likely to have a long-term impact on his political career.

Days after the impeachment inquiry announcement, Hunter was indicted by Weiss on three felony charges for lying about his crack cocaine addiction when buying a gun.

A Delaware grand jury returned three charges against him, including two counts of false statements on his gun forms, and one of possessing a firearm while addicted to illicit drugs. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges. 

Over this summer, the president's son had reached a deal after the five-year investigation that would have allowed him to avoid trial for the firearms charges if he abided by parole conditions over 24 months.

Republicans in Washington complained that the president's son had gotten himself a 'sweetheart deal' designed to protect President Biden.

However, the plea deal spectacularly fell apart in court in July, opening Hunter up to new charges.

Judge Maryellen Noreika questioned the 'diversion agreement' of Hunter's plea deal - a clause that gave him blanket immunity for a wide range of other potential charges, including illegal foreign lobbying - killing the deal.

In August, Attorney General Merrick Garland elevated Weiss to special counsel status after increased scrutiny.

Garland's decision to promote Weiss came after IRS whistleblower allegations that Hunter received 'special treatment' during the criminal probe.
