The House Judiciary Committee and Justice Department told a judge that a lawsuit should move forward over two congressional subpoenas related to the criminal case against President Joe Biden’s son Hunter, since four months of negotiations couldn’t resolve the dispute.
But Judge Ana Reyes of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, who previously called this a “bad, bad case” for both sides and ordered them to reach an agreement instead, issued her own plan instead on Monday.
Reyes ordered lead attorneys both sides to file sworn declarations that describe the negotiations so far and how many hours of attorney time the case is expected to take and at what cost, and then come to her courtroom in October for a hearing to discuss it.
