In addition to Trump, Hunter Biden is seeking to subpoena former Attorney General Bill Barr, former Acting Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue, and former Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen for documents and communications related to the investigation of him, which began during the Trump administration.
