(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) An IRS whistleblower claimed that several Biden administration stooges are attempting to block charges against first son Hunter Biden and are engaging in “preferential treatment and politics” in the investigation.
According to Breitbart, the Department of Justice opened an investigation into alleged tax fraud, money laundering and violation of lobbying laws by the younger Biden.
Mark Lytle, attorney for the whistleblower, stated that his client is hoping to speak with congressional investigators to show them the evidence of political interference.
“The agent has provided evidence that at least two Biden DOJ political appointees in U.S. attorneys’ offices have declined to seek a tax indictment against Hunter Biden despite career investigators’ recommendations to do so and the blessing of career prosecutors in the DOJ tax division,” said a letter from Lytle to the DOJ.
The whistleblower also asked for Trump-approved prosecutor David Weiss to act as a special counsel in the probe as a preventative measure against interference from Biden officials—that request was denied.
Hunter previously attempted to settle the DOJ’s probe, paying a $1 million IRS tax bill in 2021 in order to evade conviction.
There are many questions about President Joe Biden’s possible involvement in the litany of his son’s crimes.
A witness was reportedly asked to identify the “big guy,” a joint venture between the Bidens, their business associates and CEFC China Energy Co., where the now-president received 10% equity in the company.
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., discovered that the Biden family collected $1.3 million from CEFC in 2017, which Hunter confirmed and the president falsely denied.
Comer’s investigation also revealed that the Bidens’ exchanged favors for the money while acting as vice president.
The investigation revealed at least nine violations including tax evasion, money laundering and wire fraud, in addition to the charges by the DOJ.
