(Joseph Lord\/The Epoch Times)<br \/>\n  <\/figure>\n<p>Chairman Smith addressed the media after the hearing, revealing that the panel had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ted-cruz-launches-new-senate-probe-demands-answer-from-big-tech-chiefs\/\" title=\"Ted Cruz Launches New Senate Probe, Demands Answer From Big Tech Chiefs\">heard whistleblower testimony<\/a> regarding government abuse and preferential treatment for Hunter Biden. He highlighted the concern among Americans about the weaponization of government against its citizens.<\/p>\n<p>Smith stated, &#8220;Mr. Biden has been under investigation for tax crimes, including evading taxes on income from foreign sources.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Key Allegations from the Whistleblower Testimony<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The federal government is not treating taxpayers equally when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ira-mehlman-democrats-beef-up-tax-enforcement-but-let-immigration-enforcement-languish\/\" title=\"Ira Mehlman: Democrats Beef Up Tax Enforcement, But Let Immigration Enforcement Languish\">enforcing tax laws<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>The Biden DOJ is intervening and overstepping in the investigation of the president&#8217;s son.<\/li>\n<li>The whistleblowers have faced immediate retaliation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Smith emphasized that this testimony came from not one, but two IRS employees.<\/p>\n<p>The whistleblowers began working on the investigation into Hunter Biden in November 2018 as part of a separate IRS investigation. Smith clarified that this investigation was not ordered by any individual or political entity but was part of the IRS&#8217;s ordinary course of work.<\/p>\n<p>The IRS ultimately recommended three charges against Hunter Biden, including a felony attempt to defeat or evade tax charge, making felony fraudulent or false statements, and willful failure to file returns, supply information, or pay tax.<\/p>\n<p>According to Smith, these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-received-preferential-treatment-from-irs-doj-over-felony-tax-fraud-investigation-irs-whistleblowers\/\" title=\"IRS whistleblowers allege that Hunter Biden was given special treatment by the IRS and the DOJ during the investigation into his felony tax fraud.\">tax crimes involve approximately <\/a>.2 million in unreported taxable income from global sources in Ukraine, Romania, and China. Hunter Biden received a total of around $17.3 million from these foreign sources, which included payments from the Chinese company State Energy HK, a large diamond, and a new Porsche.<\/p>\n<p>Smith criticized the plea deal that Hunter Biden recently received, referring to it as a &#8220;slap on the wrist&#8221; compared to the charges that have led other Americans to prison.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the DOJ&#8217;s involvement, whistleblowers accused the department of &#8220;hamstringing&#8221; the investigation. They claimed that career DOJ officials delayed the IRS&#8217;s investigative steps after Joe Biden became the presumptive Democratic nominee for President in April 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Smith shared that the whistleblower testimony revealed a lack of U.S. attorney independence, recurring unjustified delays, unusual actions outside the normal course of any investigation, a lack of transparency across the investigation and prosecution teams, and bullying.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hunter Biden allegedly received &#8220;preferential treatment&#8221; from the IRS, influenced by President Joe Biden&#8217;s DOJ, according to whistleblowers.
