House Judiciary Subpoenas Prosecutor in Hunter Biden Probe

The subpoena follows refusals by the Justice Department to make available the prosecutor, who was central to the probe.

House Republicans subpoenaed Lesley Wolf, a deputy to the special counsel investigating Hunter Biden, on Tuesday.

The House Judiciary Committee subpoena follows a series of refusals by the Department of Justice (DOJ) to secure voluntary testimony from Ms. Wolf, who played a pivotal role in the inquiry, which whistleblowers alleged was slow-walked by prosecutors.
