Last month, the federal prosecutors might prosecute Hunter Biden with three tax offenses, including a felony tax evasion accusation.
No charges have been brought even though the IRS allegedly completed its inquiry more than a year ago.
Controversy Surrounds Hunter Biden IRS Tax Investigation
In a whistleblower report submitted last month, an IRS criminal supervisory special agent claimed that preferential treatment and politics were impeding the investigation into Hunter Biden’s tax offenses.
In addition to filing a whistleblower complaint on Monday, a special agent in the IRS’s international tax and financial crimes department who had been looking into Hunter Biden for five years also did so.
Mark Lytle and Tristian Leavitt, attorneys for the first whistleblower, claim that instead of taking into account the worries of seasoned investigators, the IRS responded with allegations of criminal conduct and warnings to other agents in an apparent attempt to intimidate into silence anyone who might raise similar concerns.
A tax evader straight out of IRS Central Casting is Hunter Biden. He and other Bidens stole more than $10 million from dubious foreigners, leading to numerous suspicious activity referrals to the Treasury Department.
Hunter cheated the IRS and received a $112,805 tax debt for his 2015 taxes. Because of his severe tax defaults, the IRS threatened to revoke his passport.
Hunter was the subject of an official IRS investigation that started in 2018; by January 2020, a dozen IRS employees were working on the matter.
The IRS supervisor whistleblower told his superiors about the Justice Department’s irregularities in the case as early as the summer of 2020.
Whistleblowers Allege Reprisals in Hunter Biden Investigation
This week, a number of individuals on Capitol Hill received letters from attorneys representing various IRS whistleblowers, claiming their clients had endured internal retaliation from the organization due to the federal investigation into Hunter Biden.
The first two letters, which are written to the Office of Special Counsel and IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel, respectively, claim that the IRS punished the whistleblowers by excluding them from well-deserved promotions and demoting them from their positions.
When the Justice Department ordered the IRS to effectively terminate its entire crew that had spent years investigating Hunter Biden, another act of mercy was delivered last week.
According to John Fort, a former head of the IRS’s criminal division, the firing of IRS agents may be a first.
