IRS removes ENTIRE team examining Hunter Biden’s tax returns

The IRS has removed the entire team investigating Hunter Biden’s tax returns “in retaliation against a whistleblower who claimed his colleagues covered up the financial crimes of the president’s son.”

The dismissal orders came from the Justice Department, the whistleblower’s lawyers said in a letter to Congress The New York Post.

But IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel told Congress his agency would not retaliate against whistleblowers.

That whistleblower — who has not been named — has not publicly identified Hunter Biden as the subject of his cover-ups, but congressional sources have.

“Today, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Criminal Supervisory Special Agent we represent received word that he and his entire investigative team are being removed from the ongoing and sensitive investigation of the high-profile, controversial subject our client sought to whistleblower about. to the congress. He was told the change was at the request of the Justice Department,” Mark Lytle and Tristan Leavitt wrote.

On April 27, 2023, IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel appeared before the House Committee on Ways and Means. He testified, “I can say without hesitation that there will be no retaliation for anyone making an accusation or calling a whistleblower hotline.” However, this move is clearly retaliatory and could also impede a congressional investigation,” the lawyers said.

“Our client has the right to provide information to Congress… He is protected by 5 USC § 2302 against employee retaliation – including receiving a “significant change in duties, responsibilities, or working conditions” (which this clearly is ) for his revelations to Congress.

Any attempt by a government official to prevent a federal employee from providing information to Congress is also a direct violation of longstanding credit restrictions. In addition, 18 U.S.C. § 1505 makes it a crime to obstruct a Congressional investigation,” Lytle and Leavitt wrote.

“We respectfully request that you give this matter your prompt attention. Removing the experienced detectives who have worked this case for years and are now the subject matter experts is exactly the kind of problem our client wanted to announce in the first place.”

Biden’s business dealings have long irked members of the GOP, who accuse the president’s son of exploiting his family ties to win lucrative contracts abroad.

An anonymous IRS whistleblower has said through his attorney that he is willing to testify that he is also receiving preferential treatment in a federal investigation into his tax affairs.

He previously had business interests in China and Ukraine, though the longtime lobbyist denies any wrongdoing.

The 53-year-old denies that he exploits his family ties to win contracts abroad

The ex-Navy reservist, who was kicked out of the army in 2014 for testing positive for cocaine, was in the spotlight again last week.

He appeared on the president’s recent trip to Ireland despite White House officials insisting he not attend any official events.

Since Joe Biden took office, the administration has insisted that the president never speak to his son about his business dealings nor be involved in them.

Sources close to the president also say he never spoke to the Justice Department about investigations into members of his family.
