.GOPoversight chair JamesComer said the Biden administration “may be obstructing justice” following revelations of a whistleblower IRS agent who claimed the federal Hunter Biden investigation has been infected by “politics” and “preferential treatment.”
“He has been advised that he should get anything he needs,” Garland said of Weiss during Senate testimony in March. “I have not heard anything from that office that suggests they are not able to do anything that the U.S. attorney wants them to do.”
The whistleblower’s lawyer said the IRS agent has also already made “legally protected disclosures” internally at the IRS, as well as to the Treasury Department’s inspector general for tax administration and the Department of Justice’s inspector general.
"Political considerations were having an impact on the decision for agents to make investigative steps in the case. And those political considerations are not normally a part of a career investigator's toolkit,” the IRS whistleblower’s lawyer CBS News, adding,"It really doesn't come down to his credibility, whether you believe him or not, because the things he's been through are very well documented in emails and other communications with the Department of Justice."
