The Justice Department is pushing back against a new set of subpoenas quietly sent out by House Republicans related the Hunter Biden criminal investigation in another brewing faceoff in the impeachment inquiry.
So far, Republicans have failed to uncover evidence directly implicating President Biden in any wrongdoing.
The suit comes as a long-running investigation into Hunter Biden continues to unfold against a sharply political backdrop, including an impeachment inquiry aimed at his father, President Joe Biden.
Thursday's indictment comes as congressional Republicans pursue an impeachment inquiry into the Democratic president, in large part over Hunter Biden's business dealings.
