This comes a month after an IRS supervisory special agent revealed to Congress that politics had infected the case involving President Joe Biden&#8217;s son. Both whistleblowers were removed from the investigation into possible Hunter Biden tax violations this month. The first whistleblower&#8217;s lawyers have sent letters to Congress outlining the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/education-insanity-top-10-stories-of-the-week-vol-3\/\" title=\"Education Insanity: Top 10 Stories Of The Week (Vol. 3)\">alleged retaliation<\/a>, including threats of criminal conduct against the second whistleblower after raising concerns about the handling of Hunter Biden&#8217;s case.<\/p>\n<h3>IRS Whistleblower Lawyers Send Letters to Congress and IRS Commissioner<\/h3>\n<p>The lawyers for the initial IRS whistleblower have sent letters to IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel and the Office of Special Counsel outlining the alleged retaliation against their client. The letters were included in a letter to Congress, revealing that the whistleblower is scheduled to speak with the GOP-led House Ways and Means Committee this Friday. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/lawyers-for-woman-on-death-row-request-president-trump-grant-clemency-a-week-before-execution\/\" title=\"Lawyers for woman on death row request President Trump grant clemency a week before execution\">lawyers argue<\/a> that the IRS must desist from &#8220;intimidating&#8221; whistleblowers, lest they chill the disclosures of other IRS whistleblowers who may wish to come forward.<\/p>\n<h3>Allegations of Wrongdoing in Hunter Biden Investigation<\/h3>\n<p>The revelations are the latest claims of wrongdoing into how the federal government is handling the allegations of possible <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/constitutional-crisis-or-political-war\/\" title=\"Constitutional Crisis or Political War\">tax fraud<\/a> that Hunter Biden first revealed in 2020 immediately after his father won the White House. Joe Biden has routinely stood by his son and earlier this month claimed, &#8220;My son has done nothing wrong.&#8221; The U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office in Delaware is handling the criminal investigation into Hunter Biden. It is reportedly up to U.S. Attorney David Weiss, a Trump-appointed holdover, to decide whether to indict the president\u2019s son. Attorney General Merrick Garland has repeatedly vowed to ensure that Weiss is insulated from any political interference.<\/p>\n<h3>IRS Whistleblower Alleges Retaliation for Making \u201cProtected Disclosures\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>The initial IRS whistleblower\u2019s lawyers have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-investigation-second-irs-whistleblower-claims-retaliation\/\" title=\"Second IRS whistleblower alleges retaliation in Hunter Biden investigation.\">consistently avoided confirming<\/a> or denying that their client&#8217;s allegations relate to Hunter Biden, but congressional sources have said the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/jim-jordan-says-14-fbi-whistleblowers-have-come-forward-to-gop-investigators\/\" title=\"Jim Jordan Says 14 FBI Whistleblowers Have Come Forward to GOP Investigators\">disclosures relate<\/a> to the investigation into Joe Biden\u2019s son. The whistleblower\u2019s legal team has said that their client has been retaliated against numerous times for making \u201cprotected disclosures\u201d in 2021, 2022, and 2023. The lawyers included several emails that their client had sent detailing what he saw as \u201cunethical conduct\u201d by the DOJ.<\/p>\n<h3>IRS Whistleblower Lawyers Call for Investigation<\/h3>\n<p>The whistleblower\u2019s legal team has called for an investigation into their client\u2019s allegations and wants Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) included in the congressional investigation. However, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, is currently shutting Grassley out of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another IRS whistleblower claims retaliation for raising concerns about Justice Department leadership&#8217;s &#8220;inappropriate&#8221; actions in the Hunter Biden investigation.
