(PatrioticPost.com)- The Department of Justice has just blocked Republican senators from getting answers into their inquiry on the ongoing Hunter Biden investigation. Senators Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson have repeatedly attempted to get information from DOJ headquarters but to no avail.
Hunter Biden is under federal investigation for his taxes, money laundering, as well as “possible foreign lobbying violations under the Foreign Agents Registration Act,” according to Washington Examiner.

McQuaid used to work with Hunter until hired by the Biden administration, the senators point out. The senators asked if he would be recused from the case.

The DOJ added that they cannot confirm, deny, or comment on matters currently under investigation. Even if it means ensuring a fair investigation takes place.
