The New York Post first reported Garland’s connection to the whistleblower’s claim Thursday.
The revelations also imply that no apparent conflict of interest arose in the final settlement of the case, Lytle’s letter continued.
In addition, the whistleblower’s confessions apparently “depict preferential treatment and politics that inappropriately infect decisions and protocols that would normally be followed by professional law enforcement professionals in similar circumstances if the subject had no political affiliation.”
Lytle wrote that his client is an IRS Criminal Supervisor special agent who has been overseeing the “sensitive investigation of a high-profile, controversial subject” since 2020.
The letter obtained by DailyMail.com was sent to senior members of the House and Senate.
The whistleblower has already shared information with the Inspector General of the Tax Department of the Ministry of Finance and the Inspector General of the Ministry of Justice.
The revelation shocked Capitol Hill and members of both political parties.

‘We take all whistleblower reports seriously, as we should. Some turn out to be very important and some don’t,” said Senator Dick Durbin, D-Ill.
“But we’re taking them all seriously from the start and watching them closely,” Durbin, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, added Thursday.
James Comer, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, R-Ky., said Hunter Biden has been involved in “deceptive, shady business schemes.”
Elaborating, he said the president’s family “brought in millions from foreign adversaries like China” through the ventures.
Jim Jordan, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, tweeted sarcastically referring to the IRS whistleblower’s claims, “Imagine the Biden administration allegedly mishandling the criminal investigation of Hunter Biden.”
On the other hand, the White House rejected the claims, citing DOJ independence.
“The president respects the rule of law and the independence of the Justice Department,” press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Thursday when asked about the allegations.
