IRS whistleblower reveals DOJ’s bid to halt Special Counsel’s charges against Hunter Biden.
IRS Whistleblower Reveals DOJ’s Efforts to Halt Charges Against Hunter Biden
A third Internal Revenue Service whistleblower has come forward to confirm that U.S. Attorney David Weiss faced obstacles from the Justice Department in his pursuit to prosecute Hunter Biden. According to the Washington Examiner, IRS Director of Field Operations Michael Batdorf expressed his frustration with the Justice Department’s refusal to approve tax charges that IRS agents believed were well-supported by evidence.
Furthermore, Gary Shapley, another IRS whistleblower, was removed from leading the investigation into President Joe Biden’s son due to tension with Weiss over the lack of filed charges. Shapley testified that Weiss claimed he couldn’t bring charges outside his Delaware district without the approval of the DOJ tax division in Washington or a U.S. attorney in California, and that approval was not granted.
This means that Hunter Biden would not face tax charges related to his ”foreign income from Burisma” in 2014 and 2015, as the statute of limitations would expire for those years. Shapley expressed disappointment, stating that all their efforts to uncover the massive amounts of foreign money received by Hunter Biden would be in vain.
Batdorf confirmed during a meeting with Weiss and IRS officials that the DOJ tax division opposed bringing charges against Biden. GOP Rep. Chip Roy questioned Attorney General Merrick Garland about the authority of a U.S. attorney to prosecute tax crimes, to which Garland responded that most of the time, tax cases require approval from Main Justice, unless the attorney general has granted authority to a U.S. attorney.
The New York Post reported that IRS Special Agent in Charge Darrell Waldon, who was present at the meeting with Weiss, testified that Weiss saw himself as the “deciding person” in the Biden case. Waldon also mentioned that Weiss refused to respond to Shapley’s emails due to a conflict around discovery.
After facing criticism for the unequal application of the law, Weiss was named special counsel in the Hunter Biden investigation, granting him full authority to expand the investigation into other jurisdictions. This decision came after a failed plea deal in which Biden would have received immunity from future prosecution in exchange for pleading guilty to tax evasion charges.
Recently, the special counsel’s office indicted Hunter Biden on federal felony firearms charges. The revelation of the IRS whistleblowers sheds light on the attempts made by the DOJ to impede the charging of Hunter Biden, raising questions about the integrity of the investigation.

What evidence did the IRS have to support tax charges against Hunter Biden, and why were these efforts thwarted by the Department of Justice?
T forthcoming. This revelation sheds light on the alleged efforts by the Department of Justice (DOJ) to impede the prosecution of Hunter Biden.
The IRS has long been involved in investigating cases of tax evasion and financial misconduct. In the case of Hunter Biden, it appears that the agency had substantial evidence to support the filing of tax charges. However, the involvement of the DOJ seems to have thwarted these efforts.
Michael Batdorf, the IRS Director of Field Operations, voiced his frustration over the Justice Department’s refusal to approve tax charges that the IRS agents believed were well-supported by evidence. This raises questions about the motivations behind this decision and whether political influence played a role in impeding the prosecution of Hunter Biden.
But it doesn’t end there. Gary Shapley, yet another IRS whistleblower, revealed that he was removed from leading the investigation into Hunter Biden due to tensions with U.S. Attorney David Weiss. Shapley testified that Weiss claimed he couldn’t bring charges outside his Delaware district without the approval of the DOJ tax division in Washington or a U.S. attorney in California. Moreover, Shapley asserts that approval was never forthcoming.
These revelations are concerning because they give rise to the suspicion that there may have been an orchestrated effort to protect Hunter Biden from legal consequences. The lack of action in prosecuting someone who allegedly committed tax-related offenses raises serious questions about the integrity of the DOJ and its commitment to justice.
It is important to remember that whistleblowers play a vital role in exposing wrongdoing and ensuring transparency. These individuals should be commended for their courage to come forward and disclose information that may be uncomfortable for those in positions of power.
This latest revelation only adds to the controversy surrounding Hunter Biden and his financial dealings. The allegations against him include potential conflicts of interest and questionable business dealings in foreign countries. With each new revelation, the need for a thorough investigation into these matters becomes more apparent.
The American people deserve clarity and transparency, especially when it comes to those in positions of power. The alleged efforts to halt charges against Hunter Biden raise serious concerns about the rule of law and equal justice under it. If these allegations are true, they undermine the trust and confidence that the public places in its government institutions.
It is imperative that a comprehensive and impartial investigation be conducted to determine the veracity of these allegations. The integrity of the DOJ and its commitment to upholding the law must be upheld. All individuals, regardless of their name or political connections, should be held accountable for their actions if they have violated the law.
The allegations surrounding the IRS’s pursuit of Hunter Biden and the influence of the DOJ highlight the need for reform within our government institutions. Transparency and accountability must be prioritized to restore the public’s faith in the justice system.
The American people deserve a government that operates with integrity and places the interests of the country above political considerations. The revelations brought forth by these whistleblowers should serve as a wake-up call for all those who value justice and accountability. It is time to address these concerns and ensure that the rule of law prevails.
