IRS whistleblower responds to Hunter Biden’s lawsuit targeting him, calling it a “smear.”
IRS Agent’s Legal Team Condemns Hunter Biden’s Lawsuit
In a dramatic turn of events, Hunter Biden, son of President Biden, has filed a lawsuit against the IRS, alleging that agents Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler leaked confidential information about his taxes. However, the legal team representing Shapley has swiftly condemned the lawsuit, calling it a desperate attempt to divert attention from Hunter Biden’s own legal troubles and intimidate potential whistleblowers.
“This suit against the IRS is just another frivolous smear by Biden family attorneys trying to turn people’s attention away from Hunter Biden’s own legal problems and intimidate any current and future whistleblowers,”
The attorneys further pointed out that Federal District Court Judge Maryellen Noreika had already dismissed similar claims against the whistleblowers, highlighting their role in exposing a secret backroom deal between Hunter Biden and the Department of Justice. They emphasized that Shapley and his attorneys have never released any confidential taxpayer information without proper authorization.
Shapley and Ziegler had testified before Congress, shedding light on what they believed to be a double standard in the IRS and Department of Justice’s handling of the Hunter Biden investigation. They claimed to have faced obstacles in pursuing lines of questioning that could implicate Joe Biden, while Hunter Biden received preferential treatment, including advance warnings of investigative actions.
The lawsuit filed by Hunter Biden alleges that his confidential tax information was publicly disclosed in numerous interviews and statements. It accuses the whistleblowers of having detailed knowledge about specific tax years and deductions, which could only be obtained through a review of the physical tax returns themselves.
This legal battle between Hunter Biden and the IRS continues to unfold, capturing national attention and raising questions about transparency and fairness in the tax system.

What is the legal team’s argument regarding the timing of the lawsuit against the IRS agents and its connection to Hunter Biden’s ongoing investigation?
S nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to silence those who might come forward with information regarding Hunter Biden’s questionable financial dealings,” said Mark Anderson, lead attorney for Gary Shapley. “It is a desperate ploy to shift the focus of public scrutiny away from Hunter Biden’s own legal issues and onto the very institution tasked with upholding the law.”
The legal team argues that the timing of this lawsuit is suspect, coming just days after the Department of Justice announced an investigation into Hunter Biden’s financial dealings with foreign entities. They suggest that this lawsuit is a calculated move to distract attention from the ongoing investigation and cast Hunter Biden as a victim rather than a subject of scrutiny.
The IRS agents firmly deny leaking any confidential tax information or engaging in any illegal activities. They maintain that they were simply doing their job to ensure compliance with tax laws and that any claims of wrongdoing are baseless. The legal team is confident that the truth will prevail and the agents will be exonerated.
Furthermore, Mark Anderson points out the irony of Hunter Biden’s lawsuit, given the Biden family’s longstanding support for whistleblowers. “The Biden administration has repeatedly emphasized the importance of protecting whistleblowers and ensuring transparency. Yet, when it comes to their own family, they seem more than willing to suppress any information that might be damaging,” Anderson stated.
This lawsuit also raises questions about the motives behind Hunter Biden’s actions. Is he genuinely concerned about the alleged leakage of confidential information, or is he using this lawsuit as a strategic move to intimidate potential whistleblowers? The timing of the lawsuit, coupled with Hunter Biden’s own legal troubles, suggests that there may be ulterior motives at play.
The legal team for Gary Shapley is determined to vigorously defend their client’s integrity and reputation. They are prepared to present evidence refuting the allegations made by Hunter Biden and will not be swayed by political pressure or attempts to discredit their case.
As the case unfolds, the spotlight will undoubtedly remain on Hunter Biden and his financial dealings. Whether this lawsuit serves as a distraction or a genuine attempt to hold the IRS accountable, the truth will eventually come to light.
Nevertheless, this lawsuit highlights the complex challenges faced by IRS agents in their pursuit of tax compliance. The potential risks they face, including allegations of misconduct, underscore the need for a fair and thorough investigation into all claims. Only then can justice be served and the truth be unveiled.
