Lawyers representing the IRS whistleblower meet with Congress investigators regarding Hunter Biden’s tax investigation.

IRS Whistleblower Shares Information with Congress on Hunter Biden Tax Probe

Exciting news in the world of politics! The lawyers for an IRS whistleblower recently met with congressional investigators to preview information that the whistleblower will share with Congress regarding the Hunter Biden tax probe. Last month, the IRS whistleblower alleged political interference at the Justice Department in its probe of Hunter Biden, who is currently under investigation for tax fraud, money laundering, and violation of lobbying laws.

What’s Happening with the Investigation?

Prosecutor David Weiss has been weighing the evidence for months to determine if there is enough to indict Hunter Biden on four reported charges. However, the case appeared to quietly stall until the IRS whistleblower alleged the improper politicization of a tax probe into the president’s son. Attorney General Merrick Garland dismissed those claims last week, even as he refuses to appoint a special counsel to place a degree of separation between the probe and President Joe Biden.

Shortly after the IRS whistleblower came forward, the Ways and Means Committee authorized two lawyers for the IRS whistleblower to collect information about what their client witnessed at the IRS regarding the Hunter Biden tax probe. On Friday, the lawyers for the whistleblower met with Senate Finance Committee and the House Ways and Means Committee to disclose information the IRS agent could provide to congressional investigators. This step in the process is reportedly a typical procedure in situations involving sensitive tax information.

What’s Next?

The congressional investigation of the whistleblower’s claims come as Weiss’s investigation is coming to an end without a timetable for a decision. If Weiss recommends charges against Hunter Biden, Garland would have to authorize the charges. Garland has vowed Weiss has the autonomy to recommend changes, despite IRS agent claims that Garland misled Congress about the probe’s autonomy.

The probe into Hunter could also implicate Joe Biden. A witness who testified before the grand jury was reportedly asked to identify the “big guy.” Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story!
