IRS whistleblower alleges political interference in Hunter Biden tax investigation.

An investigator overseeing the IRS portion of the case against Hunter Biden has alleged political favoritism and misconduct in the inquiry, prompting a request for whistleblower protection. Hunter Biden's lawyer has accused the IRS supervisor of breaking the law by disclosing confidential taxpayer information. The Justice Department is considering whether to indict Hunter Biden over his failure to meet filing deadlines for his tax returns and questions about whether he falsely claimed deductions for business expenses, as well as whether he lied on a government form to purchase a handgun. Congressional Republicans claim that the Justice Department cannot be trusted to make a decision about Hunter Biden based on facts and law.
