Hunter Biden’s legal crew is shaking things up by asking the judge in charge of Biden’s federal case to summon heavyweights like ex-President Donald Trump, former Attorney General Bill Barr, and other key players.
As per Mediaite on November 15, 2023, Hunter Biden’s legal posse wants subpoenas because they say Trump’s team put non-stop, not-so-cool, and biased pressure on Biden’s case when Trump was in charge.
Besides Trump and Barr, the legal docs also call out ex-Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue and former acting Attorney General Jeffrey A. Rosen.

The legal eagles claim these folks paid too much attention to Hunter Biden’s case all because of their party loyalties.
The papers spill the beans about a special channel at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Pittsburgh where info about Mr. Biden came from Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudolph Giuliani, and his pals.
Public stories suggest Trump didn’t let up on Rosen, Donoghue, and Barr, pushing them hard about investigating Mr. Biden.
For instance, on December 27, 2020, Deputy AG Donoghue jotted down notes from a call with Trump and Acting AG Rosen. The notes reveal Trump telling them to figure out what to do with Hunter Biden and insisting that people will criticize the DOJ if he’s not investigated for real.
The papers also mention Barr losing his cool with Trump:
Barr’s latest book talks about an October 2020 call where Trump asked him about Mr. Biden. Barr claims it ended with him yelling at Trump, Dammit, Mr. President, I am not going to talk to you about Hunter Biden. Period!
According to the papers, all this points to more than a mere appearance that President Trump improperly and unrelentingly pressured DOJ to pursue an investigation and prosecution of Mr. Biden to advance President Trump’s partisan ambitions.
And that’s not all – the legal team points to Trump’s social media posts where he wanted more heat on Hunter Biden, even suggesting his son should face the death penalty for supposed crimes.
This raises big questions about politicians messing with legal stuff.
The papers want to shine a light on how Trump’s team leaned on the Department of Justice (DOJ) about Hunter Biden’s case.
They’re saying we need a deep dive into what went down during the investigation and prosecution.
This move is sure to start a big legal fight, and it could change how future leaders deal with ongoing legal stuff.
The ask for subpoenas shows Hunter Biden’s legal team is dead set on digging up any fishy business that might have messed with the case.
As the legal stuff keeps rolling, we’ll have to wait and see how the court deals with these serious claims and if they’ll go ahead with those requested subpoenas.
This latest twist adds more drama to a case that’s already in the spotlight, showing how law, politics, and public attention collide in the American legal scene.
