A nonprofit public interest law firm is going to federal court to force the Central Intelligence Agency to turn over records it alleges show a conspiracy to stop the Justice Department and Internal Revenue Service from investigating alleged criminal activity by Hunter Biden, the troubled middle-aged son of President Joe Biden.
Judicial Watch reports they have filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) for “all agency records relating to the Department of Justice or Internal Revenue Service (IRS) investigations of Hunter Biden and all records relating to efforts to interview lawyer Patrick Kevin Morris regarding Hunter Biden.”
Judicial Watch reports it “filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia after the CIA failed to respond to two FOIA requests.” The first, dated March 22, 2024, asks the agency for:
All documents and communications referring or relating to the Department of Justice or Internal Revenue Service investigation of Rober Hunter Biden, DPOB: February 4, 1970, Wilmington, DE.
All documents and communications referring or relating to Attorney Patrick Kevin Morris, including but not limited to requests or efforts to interview Mr. Morris concerning Robert Hunter Biden.
JW's second FOIA request, dated March 27, 2024, asks the CIA for:
All records of communications including, but not limited to, emails and text messages between officials of the CIA and officials of the U.S. Justice Department regarding Hunter Biden and/or Hunter Biden's lawyer, Kevin Morris.
“In March 2024, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan and Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer revealed that a whistleblower disclosed to the committees that the CIA intervened to stop the IRS from interviewing Morris,” JW reports.
According to the Committee:
Recently, the Committees received information from a whistleblower alleging that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) intervened in the investigation of Hunter Biden to prevent the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) investigators from interviewing [Morris]. We therefore write to request relevant material from the CIA.
As part of the impeachment inquiry, the Committees are investigating, among other things, whether President Biden “abuse[d] his power as President to impede, obstruct, or otherwise hinder investigations or the prosecution of Hunter Biden.” As background, for years, the IRS and DOJ had been investigating Hunter Biden for tax crimes. The Committees have documented how the DOJ deviated from its standard processes to afford preferential treatment to Hunter Biden. The Committees learned about the deviations in the spring of 2023 after two brave whistleblowers testified to Congress that DOJ officials deviated “from the normal process that provided preferential treatment, in this case to Hunter Biden . . . .” Among other deviations, DOJ officials restricted what investigative steps the investigators could pursue, tipped off Hunter Biden's attorneys about investigative steps, and even prevented investigators from conducting witness interviews. The whistleblowers' testimony about the preferential treatment provided to Hunter Biden has been corroborated by testimony from other witnesses and documents the Committees have received.
“It is more than interesting that the CIA is stonewalling Judicial Watch's Hunter Biden-related request,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
“Los Angeles-based lawyer Morris is reportedly a friend of Hunter Biden's, who allegedly loaned the president's son millions of dollars. Since 2019, Morris has allegedly loaned him approximately $4.9 million for “personal expenses,” including federal taxes,” JW notes.
