Shapley, who\u200d supervises \u200bZiegler, stated\u2062 that Hunter Biden had evaded paying\u200d $1.2 million in taxes\u2062 in 2017 and \u200c2018, and should face federal\u2064 charges.<\/p>\n<p>Ziegler, a 13-year\u2063 veteran of the IRS and the \u2064lead case agent\u2064 in the federal investigation into\u2063 Hunter Biden, revealed\u2064 that he was prevented\u200d from pursuing\u2063 leads that could potentially implicate President Biden.<\/p>\n<p>According to The New York Times, the testimony \u200cof \u200dthese IRS whistleblowers compelled the Justice \u200dDepartment to file two\u200d <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\">misdemeanor tax charges<\/a> and a firearm possession charge against Hunter Biden. \u200cHowever, the plea \u2064deal fell apart in \u2063court when the judge questioned its details.<\/p>\n<p>Hunter Biden&#8217;s attorneys\u200b have now \u200dturned \u2062the tables, arguing that the \u200bIRS whistleblowers violated \u2062the\u200c law \u2063by\u200b disclosing details of the investigation\u200c to \u2063Congress.
