A conservative watchdog group, Judicial Watch, is suing the Justice Department for records related to possible FBI obstruction in the Hunter Biden investigation.
Judicial Watch filed the suit in response to the agency's failure to comply with a Freedom of Information Act request submitted in August. The suit also argues the agency violated the FOIA request and that the watchdog group has a legal right to view those documents.
Notably, the request mirrors one sent by Sen. Chuck Grassley , the ranking GOP member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, who penned a letter in July asking Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray regarding the same information.
In 2020, Biden revealed he was under federal investigation for his taxes shortly following the 2020 election. He expressed confidence at the time that a"professional and objective review of these matters will demonstrate that I handled my affairs legally and appropriately, including with the benefit of professional tax advisors.”
While the FBI investigation initially focused on his overseas business dealings and consultant work in Ukraine and China, the inquiry eventually changed focus to"whether he did not report all of his income, and whether he lied on gun purchase paperwork in 2018, according to the people familiar with the situation," the Washington Post reported on Oct. 6.Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton accused the FBI of trying to protect Biden.
