Democrat demands DOJ, FBI, IRS to safeguard democracy during Biden family probe.
A Democrat Congressman Defends DOJ, FBI, and IRS
In a fiery speech during the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into the Biden family, Rep. Kweisi Mfume (D-MD) passionately criticized Republicans for their focus on the Hunter Biden investigation. Mfume declared that the Department of Justice, FBI, and IRS are essential for maintaining the integrity of our democracy.
Mfume highlighted Hunter Biden’s legal troubles, including tax evasion, a gun charge, and alleged involvement in prostitution. However, he expressed frustration that these issues were overshadowing the importance of the agencies in question.
“I don’t like these attacks on the Department of Justice, the FBI, the IRS, as if they are somehow anti-U.S. agencies. Those agencies keep this democracy in check. They provide the checks and they provide the balance,” Mfume passionately stated.
As he concluded his remarks, Mfume humorously exclaimed, “This is ludicrous. Beam me up, Scotty. There’s no intelligent life down here. None.”

IRS Whistleblowers Testify on Biden Investigation
During the hearing, two IRS whistleblowers, special agent Joseph Ziegler and his supervisor Gary Shapley, provided testimony on the ongoing investigation into the Biden family. They alleged obstruction in the case.
Shapley recounted his attempt to interview Hunter Biden in December 2020, revealing that the plans had changed due to coordination between FBI and Secret Service headquarters. Rep. Kelly Armstrong (R-ND) pointed out that the transition team had been made aware of the interview plans, raising suspicions.
Armstrong asked Shapley if the transition team had any special investigative powers, to which Shapley replied, “Not that I would know of.” Ultimately, the whistleblowers confirmed that they never had the opportunity to interview Hunter Biden.
