"House Republicans Accuse Hunter Biden's Attorneys of Intimidating IRS Whistleblowers, FBI Agent Disputes Claims"

The FBI agent overseeing the investigation into Hunter Biden disputed claims made by IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley that the Justice Department showed preferential treatment to President Joe Biden's son. The agent, Thomas Sobocinski, refuted Shapley's claim that U.S. Attorney David Weiss had stated he was not the deciding person on whether to bring charges in the Hunter Biden case. Sobocinski stated that he was consistently aware of Weiss having the authority to bring charges and that he did not remember Weiss making the statement in question. Sobocinski also expressed concern about increased threats against agents working on the case. The White House has denied any involvement in Hunter Biden's business affairs or the Justice Department's case.
