Attorneys for an IRS whistleblower who alleges political interference in the Hunter Biden criminal investigation at the Justice Department met with congressional investigators to lay the groundwork for what their client hopes to share with Congress.
Just the News article stated from the end of April, an IRS whistleblower claimed that federal prosecutors had used preferential treatment and politics to save the president’s son from being charged with any taxes.
IRS Whistleblower Against Attorneys
The claims made by the whistleblower seem to go against Attorney General Merrick Garland’s sworn statement that David Weiss, the US Attorney for Delaware who has been leading the investigation, had complete authority to prosecute the case without concern for political intervention.
Tristan Leavitt, president of Empower Oversight, who is representing the anonymous whistleblower, said on the “Just the News, No Noise” television program on Friday that congressional leaders have shown interest in the allegations and are likely to hold hearings to discuss his client’s claims.
“We anticipate that our client, a very, very brave and well-respected whistleblower, will eventually be able to share his allegations with Congress because Rep. Jason Smith, a Missouri Republican, has identified that their committee on House Ways and Means is committed to thoroughly hearing these allegations, and so we look forward to a process, Leavitt said to host John Solomon and co-host Amanda Head.”

Standard of Justice Department
Justice Department standards state that Weiss must request approval from the attorney general before attempting to file a lawsuit in a state other than Delaware.
Someone who is informed about the case claims that Garland has ensured that Weiss possesses the legal power to act in this manner.
The US attorneys for the District of Delaware, the Central District of California, and the District of Columbia, as well as the spokeswoman for the Justice Department, all declined to comment.
