The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/clearly-retaliatory-irs-whistleblowers-team-taken-off-hunter-biden-probe\/\" title=\"IRS whistleblower's team removed from Hunter Biden investigation in an apparent act of retaliation.\">whistleblower sought whistleblower protections<\/a> last month to come forward with revelations into the Biden tax investigation. The bombshell claims allege the Biden administration is showing &#8220;preferential treatment&#8221; toward the president&#8217;s son and holding back in the investigation.<\/p>\n<p>Lawyers for the whistleblower said in a statement that &#8220;he and his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/irs-whistleblowers-team-getting-kicked-from-hunter-biden-probe-lawyers-say\/\" title=\"Lawyers claim IRS whistleblower team removed from Hunter Biden investigation.\">entire investigative team<\/a> are being removed&#8221; from the investigation at the request of the Justice Department. The whistleblower has not specifically named Hunter Biden as the subject of the case he has supervised since 2020, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cruz-blocks-israel-bill-over-watered-down-support-for-jewish-state\/\" title=\"Cruz Blocks Israel Bill Over Watered-Down Support for Jewish State\">congressional sources confirmed<\/a> the fact, the New York Post reported.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The whistleblower&#8217;s team has been removed from the investigation on orders from the Justice Department.<\/li>\n<li>The team&#8217;s removal is &#8220;clearly retaliatory&#8221; and &#8220;may also constitute obstruction of a congressional inquiry,&#8221; according to the whistleblower&#8217;s lawyers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Hunter Biden&#8217;s Lawyer Accuses IRS Agent of Breaking the Law<\/h3>\n<p>The development comes after a lawyer for Hunter Biden accused the IRS agent of breaking the law by telling Congress about his concerns with the investigation. Biden&#8217;s lawyer Chris Clark said in late April that &#8220;it appears this IRS agent has committed a crime&#8221; by &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-lawyer-calls-irs-whistleblower-a-criminal\/\" title=\"Hunter Biden Lawyer Calls IRS Whistleblower a Criminal\">improperly disclos[ing] information<\/a> about an ongoing tax investigation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This latest development adds to the controversy surrounding the investigation into Hunter Biden&#8217;s taxes and raises questions about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/infographic-timeline-of-the-durham-investigation\/\" title=\"Infographic: Timeline of the Durham Investigation\">potential political interference<\/a>.
