IRS whistleblower alleges retaliation in Hunter Biden probe

The former chief of the IRS’s criminal division, John Fort, said he was “not aware” of an instance like the tax agency’s removal of the investigative team in charge of Hunter Biden’s case. The IRS whistleblower supervised the Hunter Biden investigation since early 2020 and contacted Congress last month to allege a cover-up after making internal complaints to the Treasury and Justice Department inspectors general. The informant has not yet set a date with congressional leaders for depositions after alleging “preferential treatment” and false testimony to Congress about the probe but is expected to do so soon.
