IRS whistleblowers led to Hunter Biden Indictment

By U.S. Rep. James Comer
R-Kentucky

WASHINGTON, D.C. – House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) made the following statement on Hunter Biden facing a nine-count felony indictment, including failure to file and pay taxes, and filing a false return:

Two brave IRS whistleblowers, Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, placed their careers on the line to blow the whistle on misconduct and politicization in the Hunter Biden criminal investigation. 

The Department of Justice got caught in its attempt to give Hunter Biden an unprecedented sweetheart plea deal and today’s charges filed against Hunter Biden are the result of Mr. Shapley and Mr. Ziegler’s efforts to ensure all Americans are treated equally under the law. 

Every American should applaud these men for their courage to expose the truth.

IRS whistleblowers also revealed investigators were prevented from following evidence that could have led to Joe Biden. 

The House Oversight Committee’s investigation of the Bidens’ influence peddling schemes reveals how Joe Biden knew about, participated in, and benefitted from his family cashing in on the Biden name. 

In fact, Hunter Biden’s corporate entities implicated by these indictments funneled foreign cash that landed in Joe Biden’s bank account. 

Unless U.S. Attorney Weiss investigates everyone involved in the Bidens’ fraud schemes and influence peddling, it will be clear President Biden’s DOJ is protecting Hunter Biden and the big guy.
