An IRS agent overseeing a lengthy, ongoing case involving Hunter Biden's tax returns is requesting whistleblower protection to testify before Congress about alleged political interference and improper handling by the Biden administration. The agent claims that information has been reported within the agency, contradicting sworn testimony from a "senior political appointee" and revealing internal lapses concerning conflicts of interest.
According to Wall Street Journal reports on the letter which first identified the subject as Hunter Biden, the case remains unresolved. Meanwhile, Hunter Biden paid over $1 million in back taxes through a loan provided by Kevin Morris, an attorney and close friend.
David Weiss, U.S. Attorney for Delaware and Trump administration holdover, will decide whether or not to file charges. A potential whistleblower from the Internal Revenue Service seeks to inform Congress about possible political meddling in investigating President Joe Biden's son.
The prospective whistleblower is an IRS supervisor who informed lawmakers he possesses "information that suggests the Biden administration is improperly handling the criminal investigation into President Joe Biden’s son." Furthermore, allegations within this letter expose failures in mitigating clear conflicts of interest alongside examples of preferential treatment impacting decisions typically made by career law enforcement professionals under similar circumstances without any political connections.
Republican Rep. James Comer of Kentucky stated these allegations warrant further investigation. White House officials declined commenting on these claims and referred questions to both Justice Department and IRS representatives while awaiting responses from lawyers representing whistleblowers regarding ABC News inquiries for comment.
