The chairmen of the House Ways and Means, Judiciary, and Oversight committees are 'concerned' that the Department of Justice is hindering the agency's inspector general from investigating allegations raised by two IRS whistleblowers previously assigned to Hunter Biden’s criminal case.
The chairmen of the House Ways and Means, Judiciary, and Oversight committees are"concerned" that the Department of Justice is hindering the agency's inspector general from investigating allegations raised by two IRS whistleblowers previously assigned to Hunter Biden’s criminal case.
They claimed the department “slow-walked” the investigation and allowed the statute of limitations on some criminal charges to lapse, blocked them from interviewing Hunter Biden or his adult children for the investigation, and denied lead U.S. Attorney David Weiss's request for special counsel status.
“The DOJ and IRS have reportedly engaged in unlawful whistleblower retaliation against the IRS employees,” the chairmen said in the letter. “Their testimony raised serious questions about the federal government’s commitment to evenhanded justice. Pursuant to the Inspector General Act, Horowitz said he conferred with the DOJ’s Office of Professional Responsibility, which has jurisdiction over “allegations of misconduct involving Department attorneys, investigators, or law enforcement personnel, where the allegations relate to the exercise of the authority of an attorney to investigate, litigate, or provide legal advice.”
