IRS Email Supports Whistleblower’s Biden DOJ Interference Claims in Hunter Probe.

Senior IRS Official Corroborates Whistleblower’s Allegations of DOJ Meddling in Hunter Biden Tax Probe

A bombshell revelation has emerged from internal IRS emails this week, with a senior IRS official confirming a whistleblower’s claim that officials from the Biden Justice Department interfered in the investigation into Hunter Biden’s taxes.

Whistleblower Gary Shapley’s boss, Darrell Waldon, has corroborated Shapley’s account of a crucial meeting that took place on October 7, 2022. During the meeting, IRS agents and DOJ prosecutors discussed the Biden probe. Following the meeting, Shapley wrote to Waldon, revealing that U.S. attorney David Weiss had indicated he was prohibited from bringing charges against Biden in Washington, D.C. Weiss explained that he had requested special counsel status, but the request was denied by the Justice Department headquarters.

“Weiss stated that he is not the deciding person on whether charges are filed,” Shapley wrote in his email.

Waldon, who was present at the meeting, endorsed Shapley’s characterization, stating, “Thanks, Gary. You covered it all.”

This email serves as compelling evidence supporting Shapley’s claims of interference by the Biden Justice Department in the investigation of the president’s son. It contradicts statements made by Attorney General Merrick Garland and others, suggesting that Weiss did not have the freedom to operate independently.

Hunter Biden’s Plea Deal and Shapley’s Testimony

This week, Hunter Biden reached a plea deal on two misdemeanor charges related to tax evasion in 2017 and 2018. However, Shapley testified that initially, IRS investigators and Weiss’s office sought felony tax evasion charges against Biden for the years 2014 to 2018. Shapley provided detailed accounts of Biden’s tax evasion schemes, including deductions for payments made to prostitutes and a Los Angeles sex club.

Shapley’s email also raises concerns about Garland’s testimony, inviting congressional scrutiny. As a 10-year IRS veteran, Shapley informed Congress that Weiss’s statements contradicted Garland’s assertion that the prosecutor had complete authority over the Biden investigation.

“The Hunter Biden investigation… is being run by and supervised by the United States attorney for the District of Delaware,” Garland testified during a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing on April 26, 2022, referring to Weiss. “He is in charge of that investigation. There will not be interference of any political or improper kind.”

“I believe this to be a huge problem—inconsistent with DOJ public position and Merrick Garland testimony,” Shapley wrote in his October 7, 2022, memo.

According to Shapley, Weiss disclosed that he had approached Matthew Graves, the U.S. attorney appointed by Joe Biden in Washington, D.C., in early summer 2022 to request filing charges in that jurisdiction. However, Weiss claimed that the request was rejected. “Biden-appointed [U.S. attorney] said they could not charge in his district,” Shapley wrote.

Weiss stated that he had sought special counsel authority to charge the case in Washington, but “Main DOJ denied his request and told him to follow the process,” as per Shapley’s email.

In mid-September 2022, Weiss asked newly appointed prosecutor E. Martin Estrada to charge Biden in California. Although the decision was pending at the time, Estrada, another Biden appointee, ultimately rejected the request.

Weiss’s office declined to comment on Shapley’s allegations. The U.S. attorney’s offices in Washington and California did not respond to requests for comment.

The Justice Department issued a statement asserting that Weiss “has full authority over this matter, including responsibility for deciding where, when, and whether to file charges as he deems appropriate.”
