   House GOP leaders subpoenaed Homeland Security chief Alejandro   
   Mayorkas and other officials Tuesday over allegations President   
   Biden’s aides were tipped off about plans to interview first son   
   Hunter.   
      
   House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) targeted   
   the Homeland honcho seeking documents about the probe into   
   Hunter Biden’s alleged tax-dodging and weapons antics, as well   
   as subpoenaed three Department of Homeland Security and two   
   Secret Service officials to testify.   
      
   “The Department of Justice initiated the Biden family cover-up   
   and now DHS under the leadership of Secretary Mayorkas is   
   complicit in it,” Comer said in a statement.   
      
   “Investigators were never able to interview Hunter Biden during   
   the criminal investigation because Secret Service headquarters   
   and the Biden transition team were tipped off about the planned   
   interview,” the leading Republican said.   
      
   Underpinning Comer’s scathing accusations is IRS whistleblower   
   testimony from agents Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, who   
   appeared publicly before the panel in June.   
      
   “December 7th, 2020, I was informed that FBI headquarters had   
   notified Secret Service headquarters and the [Biden] transition   
   team about the planned actions the following day,” Shapley   
   testified to the Ways and Means Committee on May 26.   
      
   “This essentially tipped off a group of people very close to   
   President Biden and Hunter Biden and gave this group an   
   opportunity to obstruct the approach on the witnesses,” Shapley   
   said.   
      
   Hunter allegedly dodged paying $1.2 million in federal income   
   taxes several years ago and had an illegal gun while addicted to   
   drugs.   
      
   FBI and IRS investigators wanted to interview him Dec. 8, 2020,   
   without advance notice but ultimately, after the tip off, the   
   interview never happened, according to Shapley.   
      
   Shapley’s testimony was corroborated by an FBI whistleblower.   
      
   Comer’s document demand targeting Mayorkas is calling for   
   communications about the Hunter Biden probe by members of his   
   department or former members between Dec. 1 and Dec. 31, 2020.   
      
   Additionally, he is seeking material pertaining to a June 29,   
   2023, letter he sent demanding interviews with members of the   
   Secret Service about the Hunter Biden probe. He said his panel   
   did not receive “an adequate response” on time.   
      
   The Secret Service is housed under the DHS, which is why Comer   
   is directing some of the subpoenas at the department.   
      
   A DHS official said the department is “working to respond to   
   this inquiry appropriately, including identifying the relevant   
   information and individuals.”   
      
   The official said Comer’s insinuation that the department   
   “obstructed or withheld a response is categorically false and   
   these subpoenas are entirely without basis.”   
      
   Ultimately, the Hunter Biden probe culminated in a prospective   
   plea agreement. Under the deal, Hunter would plead guilty to two   
   misdemeanors for willful failure to pay federal income taxes and   
   a pretrial diversion agreement over a felony charge for illegal   
   possession of a firearm while addicted to illicit drugs.   
      
   But that agreement imploded in federal Delaware court July 26.   
      
   US District Judge Maryellen Noreika, a Trump appointee, tore   
   apart the agreement by raising constitutional concerns and   
   exposing daylight between Hunter Biden’s defense team and   
   federal prosecutors over the extent of his immunity.   
      
   As a result, Hunter entered a not guilty plea. Delaware US   
   Attorney David Weiss, who led the probe, was elevated to special   
   counsel status last month.   
      
   This means that he can charge the younger Biden for crimes   
   outside his jurisdiction.   
      
   Last month, Hunter Biden’s defense lawyer, Abbe Lowell, who has   
   helped him navigate the onslaught of congressional probes, took   
   the lead in his defense against the federal investigation.   
      
   Comer has separately long been spearheading the House
