The House Judiciary Committee has dismissed its own subpoena-related lawsuit against two Justice Department attorneys, a case that involved a dispute over whether agency counsel could sit in on congressional depositions.
The committee’s lawsuit, filed more than a year ago in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, asked a federal court to compel the two officials to testify about the past criminal case against Hunter Biden, the son of former President Joe Biden.
But the Justice Department directed the two officials, Mark Daly and Jack Morgan, to defy the subpoenas because agency counsel would not be permitted to attend under House rules, according to last year’s lawsuit.
