Newsmax Interview: Will IRS and DOJ Pursue Hunter, Asks IRS Whistleblower Attorney
U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika has delayed ruling in the Hunter Biden tax evasion and gun charge case, raising questions about whether the IRS and the Department of Justice will move forward with the charges. Gary Shapley, an IRS whistleblower, had testified before Congress to inform the public about the DOJ’s stonewalling. Shapley’s attorney, Tristan Leavitt, stated that his client was removed from the team as retaliation after coming forward to Congress. Leavitt emphasized that if further charges are brought and the case goes to trial, the evidence gathered during the investigation will be significant. Hunter Biden’s attorneys have reportedly pressured prosecutors by stating that charging him would be a career-killing move. Leavitt also mentioned that both Shapley and IRS agent Joseph Ziegler (also identified as Whistleblower X) were threatened by the Hunter Biden defense team’s allegations of grand jury information being provided to the Ways and Means Committee. These attacks on whistleblowers are concerning and can have a chilling effect, according to Leavitt. The article concludes by mentioning that Newsmax is the fastest-growing cable news channel in America.
