Whistleblowers claim IRS suggested felony tax charges for Hunter Biden, but DOJ hesitated.
IRS Whistleblower Reveals Shocking Details About Hunter Biden’s Tax Probe
An IRS whistleblower made explosive revelations to Congress, stating that the tax agency recommended felony charges against Hunter Biden. The federal prosecutor handling the investigation into the first son’s alleged tax evasion and false statements was reportedly prevented from filing charges multiple times. This stunning information was disclosed by the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.
Allegations of Felony Charges and Unjustified Delays
During a press conference, Rep. Jason Smith (R., Mo.) shared that two IRS employees claimed the agency sought felony charges against Hunter Biden for tax evasion and fraudulent statements. These charges, if filed, would have serious legal consequences. The whistleblowers, who have been involved in the Biden probe since November 2018, also alleged that the investigation was plagued by recurring delays and unusual actions that deviated from standard investigative procedures.
The bombshell disclosure comes just days after federal prosecutors in Delaware reached a plea deal with Hunter Biden on two misdemeanor tax charges and a felony gun charge. These charges will be dropped once he completes a diversionary program. Rep. Smith argued that this lenient treatment contrasts sharply with the harsh punishments other Americans have received for similar offenses.
Millions in Unpaid Taxes and Foreign Payments
According to Rep. Smith, the whistleblowers testified that Hunter Biden failed to pay over $2.2 million in taxes. They also revealed that he received a staggering $8.3 million from foreign entities in Ukraine, China, and Romania. Notably, Biden received at least $6 million from CEFC China Energy, a company linked to Chinese military intelligence. Additionally, a Romanian businessman paid him $1 million for assistance with a legal case. Furthermore, Hunter Biden received monthly payments of over $80,000 from Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian natural gas company, for his role on its board of directors.
One particularly shocking revelation involved an encrypted text message in which Hunter Biden threatened a Chinese business partner, leveraging his relationship with his father. In the message, Biden wrote, “I am sitting here with my father and would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.”
Obstacles Faced by the Prosecutor
Rep. Smith also highlighted the obstacles faced by U.S. attorney David Weiss, who attempted to bring charges against Hunter Biden on multiple occasions but was blocked from doing so. Weiss sought to file charges in Washington, D.C., in March 2022 and in California in the fall of 2022. He also requested special counsel status in the spring of 2022, but his requests were denied.
The whistleblowers claimed that the Department of Justice deliberately allowed the statute of limitations to expire on crimes committed in 2014 and 2015. During this period, Hunter Biden failed to report approximately $400,000 in income from Burisma. Despite his business partner’s repeated requests to amend his tax returns, Hunter Biden never did so. As a result, there is currently no legal mechanism to collect the unpaid taxes from 2014, unless Biden voluntarily pays them.
The whistleblower testified that the exclusion of the 2014 and 2015 years concealed significant criminal conduct and withheld crucial information from the investigation.
The U.S. attorney’s office in Delaware declined to comment on these allegations, while a spokesperson for the Justice Department stated that Weiss has full authority over the matter and can decide when and where to file charges as he sees fit.
