New IRS Investigator Alleges Misconduct in Hunter Biden Inquiry.

The Hunter Biden Investigation Takes Another Wild Turn

The criminal probe into Hunter Biden has taken another dramatic turn as an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) investigator, who was dismissed from the case, claims that agency officials have been ignoring claims that the Justice Department has been mishandling the inquiry led by U.S. Attorney David Weiss.

Whistleblower Disclosures Ignored

A special agent, who works under the IRS supervisor, has been seeking to make whistleblower disclosures to Congress regarding allegations that the investigation has been corrupted by lies and politics. However, efforts to bring forward these “issues” were shunned by their direct IRS superiors in the Criminal Investigation Division for years, according to an email to agency leadership.

Lawyers representing the IRS supervisor attached the subordinate’s email in a weekend transmission to IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel. Their message warns about actions that “chill the disclosures of other IRS whistleblowers who may wish to come forward.”

Retaliation Against Whistleblowers Will Not Be Tolerated

So far, the IRS has refused to publicly respond directly to the whistleblower claims, but the agency has insisted that “retaliation against any IRS employee making a whistleblower allegation” will not be tolerated.

Leavitt, who is president of a group called Empower Oversight, also wrote to the Office of Special Counsel. In that email, he shares a number of instances of potential whistleblower retaliation, including one centered on a claim that the supervisor was passed over for a promotion that went to a less experienced individual after overtures were made to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration and Congress.

Supervisor Plans to Appear Before Congress

Another email from the supervisor’s lawyers, this one sent to Congress, says their client plans to appear before the House Ways and Means Committee on Friday.

Background on the Hunter Biden Investigation

Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, announced not long after the 2020 election that federal investigators were looking into his tax affairs. The First Son has said he expects to be cleared of wrongdoing.

The Daily Wire also reached out to Justice Department representatives seeking comment on the allegations, which have only been confirmed to be about the Hunter Biden probe in various media reports over the past month.

IRS Brass Scolds Special Agent

Other emails, also attached to the transmission to Werfel, show IRS brass scolding the special agent for apparently not following the proper chain of command — even suggesting that the agent’s email sent to IRS leadership may have been criminal by potentially containing grand jury material — and advising others to refrain from discussing case-related activity without proper authorization.

Conclusion

The Hunter Biden investigation continues to be a source of controversy and intrigue. As more information comes to light, it remains to be seen what the ultimate outcome of this investigation will be.
