IRS whistleblower alleges mishandling of Hunter Biden probe.

An IRS agent overseeing a case involving Hunter Biden's tax returns is seeking whistleblower protection to testify to Congress about what he asserts is political interference and improper handling of the case by the Biden administration. The agent has reported information to officials within the IRS that contradicts the sworn testimony of a "senior political appointee" and also has internally reported lapses that "involve failure to mitigate clear conflicts of interest in the ultimate disposition of the case." The federal investigation into Hunter Biden began in 2018, initially centering on his finances related to overseas business ties and consulting work.
