IRS whistleblowers airing claims to Congress about ‘slow-walking’ of the Hunter Biden case

House Republicans are raising unsubstantiated allegations against President Joe Biden over his family’s finances. GOP lawmakers have summoned IRS whistleblowers to testify publicly for the first time about claims the Justice Department improperly interfered with a tax investigation into Biden’s son Hunter. Lawmakers are hearing from the two IRS agents assigned to Hunter Biden case. Greg Shapley is a supervisory special agent managing large cases for the IRS. The second agent, whose name was withheld in closed-door interview transcripts released earlier by Republicans and who was referred to by the committee as “whistleblower X,” was disclosed at a hearing Wednesday as Joe Ziegler, an IRS agent since 2010. The Justice Department has denied the whistleblowers’ allegations.
