Representatives for Shohei Ohtani have requested law enforcement to investigate the alleged "massive theft" of his money, following the firing of his longtime interpreter over allegations of wiring money to an illegal bookmaker to cover gambling debts.

"Explosive Closed-Door Video Unveils McCarthy's Bombshell Hearing on Hunter Biden/IRS Probe"

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy showed House Republicans a video of President Biden denying any wrongdoing related to his family's business dealings, just before a whistleblower is expected to testify that the investigation into Hunter Biden was politicized. The video includes Biden defending his family's actions but ends with an IRS whistleblower claiming that the IRS probe was prevented from pursuing leads that could have implicated President Biden. The whistleblower and another witness are set to testify at a House Oversight and Accountability Committee hearing, which is part of a larger investigation into Hunter Biden and James Biden. McCarthy's efforts to highlight the Biden investigation signal its importance to House GOP leaders, who have made it a priority.

Hunter Biden's Attorney Slams GOP and IRS Whistleblowers in Scathing Letter

Hunter Biden's attorney, Abbe Lowell, has criticized House GOP members, particularly Rep. Jason T. Smith, for their handling of the IRS agent testimony regarding the federal investigation into President Biden's son. Lowell dismissed the agents' claims of political interference as those of "disgruntled agents" and accused the committee of releasing the transcripts as part of a misinformation campaign to harm Hunter Biden. The attorney also raised concerns about the inclusion of exhibits obtained through subpoenas and search warrants, including a controversial WhatsApp message. Lowell argued that the committee's actions were intended to undermine the ongoing judicial proceedings and defended the role of prosecutors in weighing evidence. The battle between Hunter Biden and congressional Republicans is expected to intensify as further scrutiny is placed on his business dealings and the Justice Department's handling of the investigation.
