Whistleblowers Testify on IRS Handling of Hunter Biden Case

The House Oversight Committee is set to hear testimony from two IRS whistleblowers who allege mishandling of the Hunter Biden criminal probe, sparking controversy among House Republicans and calls for the impeachment of Attorney General Merrick Garland. The whistleblowers claim that the Justice Department obstructed the investigation into Hunter Biden's tax issues and targeted conservatives. The testimony has reignited calls for potential impeachment proceedings against Garland, with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy expressing openness to an impeachment inquiry. The whistleblowers also allege that US Attorney David Weiss, overseeing the Hunter Biden probe, was denied special counsel status and could not make final charging decisions against the president's son. Republicans have seized on these claims, while the White House emphasizes that Weiss was appointed by Trump.
