A former FBI agent corroborated claims from two IRS whistleblowers about the advance notice Hunter Biden’s legal team was apparently given of an upcoming attempt to get an interview with him.
House Oversight Committee Republicans published a transcript Monday of an interview with the former FBI agent, who worked on the Hunter Biden investigation at the time of the incident.The former agent testified that investigators had developed a plan to conduct a surprise interview with Hunter Biden in 2020 and that a decision had been made during the planning stages of the inquiry to contact Hunter Biden’s Secret Service detail the morning of the interview to avoid problems.
But someone at the Justice Department appeared to have notified Secret Service headquarters in advance, and the interview never took place. Someone at the Justice Department may also have tipped off the Biden presidential transition team, the former agent said.The then-supervisory agent said he “felt it was people that did not need to know about our intent.”
“I believe that the Secret Service had to be notified for our safety, for lack of confusion, for deconfliction, which we would do in so many other cases, but I didn't understand why the initial notification,” he said. The new testimony is significant because it lends credence to claims from the two IRS whistleblowers who have accused the Justice Department of protecting the Biden family from deeper scrutiny.
The release of the transcript also comes just days after Attorney General Merrick Garland designated the U.S. attorney long in charge of the investigation, David Weiss, as a special counsel.
