IRS Removes Entire Investigative Team from Hunter Biden Tax-Fraud Probe, Alleged Retaliation by Biden’s Justice Department, Whistleblower Claims

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has reportedly removed the entire investigative team from the ongoing tax-fraud probe involving Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden.

Attorneys representing a whistleblower within the tax agency have informed Congress that the team’s removal was allegedly carried out as an act of retaliation on the orders of the Justice Department, according to sources.

The move has raised concerns about potential obstruction of a congressional inquiry.

IRS Agent Whistleblower Discloses DOJ-Ordered Removal, Fueling Speculation Over High-Profile Investigation

In a letter obtained by the New York Post, attorneys Mark Lytle and Tristan Leavitt revealed that their client, an IRS Criminal Supervisory Special Agent, was notified of the removal, stating it was at the request of the Department of Justice.

The whistleblower, who has not directly identified Hunter Biden as the subject of the investigation, sought to make disclosures to Congress regarding the high-profile case.

Retaliation and Obstruction Allegations Arise

In an interview with the New York Post, attorney Mark Lytle expressed concern over the removal of the investigative team, contradicting previous assurances given by IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel.

“This move is clearly retaliatory and may also constitute obstruction of a congressional inquiry,” Lytle said, emphasizing the potential violation of the whistleblower’s rights.

Silence from IRS, Justice Department, and White House

Despite the New York Post’s request for comment, the IRS, the Justice Department, and the White House did not provide immediate statements, leaving the allegations and concerns unanswered.

Allegations of Preferential Treatment and False Testimony

Attorney Mark Lytle, in a previous interview with top members of Congress, disclosed his client’s knowledge of “preferential treatment” in the Hunter Biden case.

He further claimed that Attorney General Merrick Garland may have given false testimony to Congress regarding the tax-fraud investigation, which has been under the purview of Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss since 2018.
