Hunter Biden's Lawyers Seek Subpoenas for Trump and Barr in Gun Case

Lawyers for Hunter Biden have requested subpoenas for documents from former President Donald Trump, ex-Attorney General Bill Barr, and two other former top Department of Justice officials, as they argue that Hunter may be the victim of "vindictive" prosecution. The subpoenas are sought to prepare Hunter's defense in a criminal case where he is charged with possessing a handgun while being a drug user. The defense believes the documents could shed light on whether the investigation and prosecution were influenced by executive branch officials, such as Trump, placing undue pressure on government officials. The criminal probe of Hunter began in 2018 during the Trump administration and initially focused on his income taxes and foreign business dealings.
