Two IRS whistleblowers will tell Congress how Hunter Biden received special treatment
Two IRS whistleblowers will publicly explain to the House Oversight panel Wednesday afternoon how they were prevented from conducting a fair investigation into Hunter Biden’s shady accounts.
Meanwhile, an FBI agent assigned to investigate President Joe Biden’s son confirmed whistleblower allegations that the Justice Department was trying to “cover up” Biden crimes, the commission revealed Monday.
What was found in the thousands of pages of financial documents will be described by Oversight Chairman James Comer as “amazing,” according to excerpts from his opening statement obtained by DailyMail.com.
What were the Bidens selling? Nothing but influence and access to the Biden network. This is an influence plan to enrich the Bidens,” he will say.
Comer added, “We need to know if Joe Biden is endangered by these plans and if our national security is threatened.”
In addition, there are new revelations that an FBI attorney told an agent investigating Hunter to dodge questions from the Oversight Commission about the first son.

The Oversight investigation examines whether Hunter Biden received preferential treatment in the investigation of his wrongdoings because of his father’s position. Comer insists: ‘We need to know if Joe Biden is endangered by these plans and if our national security is threatened’
The agent, whose name was redacted, received the letter from FBI attorney Jason Jones on Sunday — the day before they were scheduled to testify before the Oversight Committee.
Jones told the agent to tell Oversight to “refer such questions to the FBI’s Office of Congressional Affairs instead.”
One of the whistleblowers testifying is IRS Supervisory Special Agent Gary Shapley (pictured), the other is identified only as ‘Whistleblower X’ and their identities will be revealed for the first time at the hearing
“The Department expects you to decline to respond to inquiries regarding non-public information likely to be covered by one or more components of executive privilege or other important confidentiality interests, particularly information regarding deliberations or ongoing investigative activities in law enforcement matters,” the ministry said. lawyer. added.
IRS Supervisory Special Agent Gary Shapley testifies Wednesday alongside another longtime IRS agent who has so far only been identified by the Oversight panel as a “criminal investigator” known as Whistleblower X.
While Shapley has already made a public appearance to make his claims against the Bidens, Whistleblower X has remained anonymous. The second whistleblower’s identity will be revealed for the first time during Tuesday’s Capitol Hill hearing.
Shapley claims 53-year-old Hunter received special treatment because of his father. The FBI agent who came forward on the Oversight panel agrees.
“The agent’s testimony is sickening and reveals just how far the DOJ is willing to go to cover up the Bidens,” the Oversight Committee tweeted Monday.
In his opening remarks to the committee on Wednesday, Shapley will reiterate his claim that the handling of the Hunter Biden investigation was unusual and tainted with special treatment.
“I’m here to tell you that the handling of the Hunter Biden tax investigation by the Delaware USAO (U.S. Attorneys Office) and the Justice Department was very unlike any other case in my 14 years with the IRS,” Shapley will say .
In addition, the FBI agent told the Republicans who led the Oversight Committee investigation that Joe Biden’s presidential transition team was tipped off the night before Hunter’s interview with detectives.
“This was not the career agents’ original plan, which frustrated their investigative efforts because people found out who didn’t need to know,” the commission said.
Democrats were quick to dismiss the agent’s claim — saying it’s common for the FBI and DOJ to disagree on how to proceed with an investigation.
The Oversight and Accountability Committee is looking into the handling of investigations into President Biden, his son Hunter and the rest of the Biden family.

Republicans have long claimed the Bidens are corrupt and insist the president was involved, or at least knew, that his son and other family members used his position for their financial gain and business enrichment.
At the center of GOP investigations into the Bidens is Hunter Biden’s shady foreign business deals.
IRS Whistleblower X will say in his opening address Wednesday, “The American people deserve to know the truth, no matter how inconvenient or inconvenient it may be for a political party or those in power.”
They want to make sure that their coming forward is not politically motivated.
“My goal is to address systemic issues that have allowed misconduct to flourish,” they’ll tell the panel when Democrats say the investigation is a political game. “It’s not a call for blame, but a call for accountability and reform.”
