During a congressional hearing on Wednesday, two IRS whistleblowers asserted that the Justice Department deliberately delayed its investigation into Hunter Biden and disregarded suggestions to pursue felony tax charges.

What Happened: IRS agents Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler claimed that the U.S. Attorney David Weiss, appointed by Donald Trump and heading the Hunter Biden investigation, faced restrictions in filing charges outside of Delaware, reported CNN.

Ziegler, whose identity remained undisclosed until Wednesday, revealed that prosecutors from DOJ’s tax division prepared a 99-page memo in August 2022 suggesting felony and misdemeanor tax charges against Hunter Biden. However, these recommendations were not acted upon, which Ziegler considered part of several instances of “abnormal” decision-making and resistance from political appointees at the DOJ.
