WASHINGTON — House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer quietly sent telecom giant AT&T a subpoena last week demanding more than a decade of phone records related to President Joe Biden’sThe Mar. 6 subpoena, obtained by HuffPost, gave AT&T two weeks to hand over all records of user activity, including texts and call logs, relating to Hunter Biden’s accounts going back to 2011.
One specific phone call has been a major focus. Devon Archer, who served with Hunter Biden on the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian gas company, told investigators last year that Burisma officials asked Hunter Biden to “call D.C.,” in December 2015, in order to help the company. Republicans have claimed, dubiously, that the phone call resulted in then-Vice President Joe Biden pushing for the ouster of a Ukrainian prosecutor.
