Hunter Biden continues aggressive pushback against GOP foes

Hunter Biden's legal team continued this week its newly aggressive approach to combating his GOP critics and antagonists, turning arguments made by Republican House members during the Trump administration against them as they look for evidence of wrongdoing by either President Biden or his son. They have alerted more than a dozen Biden antagonists of potential litigation and are refusing to comply with demands from a Congressional committee.

On Wednesday, Mr. Biden's attorney, Abbe Lowell, sent letters to 14 prominent Republican media personalities and former officials who have accused Mr. Biden of corruption or disseminated material purporting to be from his son's laptop. Lowell's letter served "notice that a litigation hold should be in effect for the preservation and retention" of their records related to Mr. Biden. 

Lowell's Wednesday letter was sent just before congressional Republicans sent a letter of their own to him. In the congressional letter, which was first obtained by CBS News, Rep. James Comer of Kentucky requested documents and communications from Hunter Biden and the president's brother James, as part of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee's probe into whether the president was involved in their finances or foreign business deals "with individuals who were connected to the Chinese Communist Party."
