Two career IRS agents testified before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday, revealing that the Justice Department had stifled their investigation into tax crimes by the son of President Joe Biden and pursued weaker charges than they had recommended.
Gary Shapley, a supervisory special agent at the Internal Revenue Service, and Joe Ziegler, who works in the agency’s international tax and financial crimes section, were called to testify before the GOP-led panel. Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., said the two witnesses had “critical information” to share about the panel’s investigation into what he alleged is “the Biden family’s influence peddling schemes.”
During the hearing, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) used her question time to display what appeared to be naked pictures of Hunter Biden obtained from an unknown source. However, other Republicans did not want to delve into the whistleblower allegations.
Shapley and Ziegler’s testimony has raised questions about the Justice Department’s handling of the investigation into Hunter Biden’s taxes. It is unclear if the Justice Department will take any action in response to the agents’ testimony.
The hearing was part of an ongoing investigation into the Biden family’s financial dealings. It is unclear what the outcome of the investigation will be, but the testimony of Shapley and Ziegler has shed light on the Justice Department’s handling of the case.
