House Judiciary and Oversight Committee chairmen Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Rep. James Comer (R-KY) sent a letter to Central Intelligence Agency Director William Burns calling for a briefing over allegations that the CIA interfered in federal investigations related to Hunter and Joe Biden.
As part of their impeachment inquiry procedings, on March 21, 2024, the House Oversight and Judiciary Committee Republicans requested documents from the CIA concerning its purported meddling into the Internal Revenue Service’s and the Department of Justice’s investigation into Hunter Biden.
On behalf of Burns, James Catella, the director of the CIA’s Office of Congressional Affairs, said the allegations proposed by the House Judiciary and Oversight committees were false. However, according to Jordan and Comer, information and documents provided in an affidavit by an IRS official reveal that Catella may have been misled and given false information to Congress members.
