IRS, DOJ Meddled in Hunter Biden Tax Fraud Probe: IRS Informants
Hunter Biden Receives “Preferential Treatment” from IRS, Whistleblowers Allege
Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, has allegedly received “preferential treatment” from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) with the involvement of the Department of Justice (DOJ), according to whistleblowers from the agency. These explosive allegations were revealed during a closed-door hearing of the Ways and Means Committee.
The committee, in a party-line vote of 25-18, has decided to release the transcripts of the whistleblower testimony to the public. However, every Democrat on the committee voted against this decision.
During the closed-door hearing, members from both parties had the opportunity to review and discuss the transcripts.
After the hearing, Chairman Jason Smith (R-Mo.) reported in a press conference that the panel had heard whistleblower testimony alleging government abuse resulting in preferential treatment for Hunter Biden. Smith emphasized the concern of Americans regarding the weaponization of government against them.
Smith stated, “Mr. Biden has been under investigation for tax crimes, including evading taxes on income from foreign sources.”
The transcripts and interviews with the whistleblowers highlight three key areas:

- The alleged intervention and overstepping of the Biden DOJ in the investigation of the president’s son.
- The immediate retaliation faced by the whistleblowers.
Smith emphasized that this testimony came from not one, but two IRS employees.
The whistleblowers began working on the investigation into Hunter Biden in November 2018 as part of a separate IRS investigation into a corporation. Smith clarified that this investigation was not ordered by any individual or political entity but was part of the ordinary course of work at the IRS.

According to Smith, these tax crimes amount to approximately $2.2 million in unreported taxable income from global sources in Ukraine, Romania, and China. Hunter Biden received a total of around $17.3 million from these foreign sources, which included payments from the Chinese company State Energy HK, a large diamond, and a new Porsche.
Smith criticized the recent plea deal that Hunter Biden received, referring to it as a “slap on the wrist” compared to the charges that have led other Americans to be imprisoned.
The DOJ has also faced accusations of “hamstringing” the investigation both before and after Joe Biden’s nomination for the Democratic Party in 2020. Whistleblowers have alleged a lack of U.S. attorney independence, recurring unjustified delays, unusual actions outside the normal course of any investigation, a lack of transparency, and bullying and threats from the defense counsel.
These revelations paint a picture of a campaign of delay, divulge, and…
