Congress has potential leads to pursue in the Hunter Biden investigation following whistleblower testimony.
IRS Whistleblowers Provide New Leads in Hunter Biden Investigation
Following their recent testimony before Congress, two IRS whistleblowers have shed light on potential financial crimes related to Hunter Biden’s business dealings. Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, experienced IRS agents who worked on the investigation, have directed lawmakers’ attention towards the actions of the Justice Department and Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss. The whistleblowers claim that there is strong evidence of financial crimes that were not pursued.
Their testimony has provided new names, documents, and timelines, giving Republicans in the House a clearer path forward in their investigation. Congress is eagerly awaiting the documents that the whistleblowers have promised to provide, as these records could further support their allegations.
Additionally, lawmakers may face fewer obstacles in obtaining information from the Justice Department once Hunter Biden’s plea deal is finalized. If his attorneys are correct in stating that the plea deal marks the end of the criminal investigation, the Justice Department will no longer have grounds to deny requests for documents and witness testimony.
Key Leads to Follow
The whistleblowers’ disclosures have opened up several new lines of inquiry for congressional investigators. Here are some of the leads they will be exploring:
- Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf: Wolf has been identified as a major obstacle in the investigation, impeding progress at multiple points. She allegedly tipped off Hunter Biden’s lawyers about investigators’ interest in relevant documents and prevented questions about evidence of payments to President Joe Biden. Congress is seeking an interview with Wolf to understand her motivations and actions.
- Rob Walker: Walker, a close business associate of Hunter Biden, was interviewed by the FBI, but certain questions were restricted by Wolf’s instructions. Congress may conduct its own interview with Walker to gather more information.
- E. Martin Estrada and Matthew Graves: These two U.S. attorneys appointed by Joe Biden have contradicted statements made by Weiss regarding the case. Congress wants to speak with them to clarify the decisions made by prosecutors and the extent of Weiss’s authority.
- China WhatsApp Messages: WhatsApp messages between Hunter Biden and Chinese businessmen reveal the use of his father’s political influence to secure business deals. Investigators were prevented from pursuing leads related to these messages, and Congress aims to understand why.
- Diamonds and Foreign Income: Hunter Biden’s foreign income, including diamonds received as compensation, has made tracking his tax liability challenging. Congress will investigate the circumstances surrounding these diamonds and their significance in understanding the Biden family’s business dealings.
By pursuing these leads, congressional investigators hope to gain a deeper understanding of Hunter Biden’s business activities and determine the extent of his financial obligations.
