"Whistleblower's Removal and Financial Ties: Key Revelations in Hunter Biden Investigation"

A newly released transcript reveals that IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley's former superior, IRS Special Agent in Charge Darrell Waldon, recommended removing him from the federal investigation into Hunter Biden, despite confirming key parts of Shapley's claims that the probe was limited in scope. Waldon stated that he recommended Shapley's removal due to unsubstantiated allegations, but Shapley was not reassigned until May. Waldon also corroborated Shapley's complaint of being limited in the scope of his investigative duties. The transcript sheds light on the internal dynamics and limitations of the Hunter Biden investigation.

"Insights into Hunter Biden Probe: Handwritten Notes and FBI Agent's Perspective"

CBS News obtained handwritten notes from IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley, who alleged that U.S. attorney David Weiss said he lacked the authority to bring charges in the Hunter Biden investigation. Shapley's notes indicate that Weiss stated he is not the deciding person. However, a senior FBI agent assigned to the case testified that he did not remember Weiss making such statements. Attorney General Merrick Garland had previously stated that Weiss had the ultimate authority to prosecute. The Justice Department and Weiss have denied Shapley's allegations. Shapley's lawyers have provided the unredacted notes to the House Judiciary Committee, and Garland is scheduled to testify on September 20.

"House Committee Demands Transcribed Interviews on Agency Misconduct in Hunter Biden Investigation"

Republican Chairmen of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, Committee on the Judiciary, and Committee on Ways and Means are requesting transcribed interviews with over a dozen federal employees from the Department of Justice, Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and U.S. Secret Service who possess information related to allegations of politicization and misconduct in the investigation of Hunter Biden. Whistleblower testimony has revealed extensive misconduct, including the Justice Department refusing to follow evidence implicating Joe Biden, tipping off Hunter Biden's attorneys and the Secret Service, and allowing certain charges to expire. The Chairmen aim to hold accountable those responsible for the alleged cover-up and restore equal enforcement of the law.
