WASHINGTON — The IRS on Monday removed the “entire investigative team” from its long-running tax fraud probe of first son Hunter Biden in alleged retaliation against the whistleblower who recently contacted Congress to allege a coverup in the case, The Post has learned.
The purge allegedly was done on the orders of the Justice Department, the whistleblower’s attorneys informed congressional leaders in a letter.
“Today the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Criminal Supervisory Special Agent we represent was informed that he and his entire investigative team are being removed from the ongoing and sensitive investigation of the high-profile, controversial subject about which our client sought to make whistleblower disclosures to Congress. He was informed the change was at the request of the Department of Justice,” Mark Lytle and Tristan Leavitt wrote.
The whistleblower, who supervised the Hunter Biden probe since early 2020, hasn’t publicly identified the first son as the subject of the case he says is being brushed under the rug, but congressional sources confirmed it.
“On April 27, 2023, IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel appeared before the House Committee on Ways and Means. He testified: ‘I can say without any hesitation there will be no retaliation for anyone making an allegation or a call to a whistleblower hotline.’ However, this move is clearly retaliatory and may also constitute obstruction of a congressional inquiry,” the lawyers went on.

To true
Bank records don't lie....but you have to be able to see them and then be willing to do something about it!
whoever makes thes3 decisions must be prosecuted, removed from thei4 position. This rot is too deep!
You are correct - the rot is too deep. But I don't think removing the decision makers goes far enough. Fire everyone, move the IRS out of D.C. and then start over from the bottom up! But those new people should not have had anything to do with the bureaucrats in D.C.
Typical!
Bank Records don't Lie!!
joe, that is why the left wants the investigation ended, they know that if they allow the truth to come out that they will lose!!!!!!!!!!
