"Whistleblower's Removal and Threats: The Ongoing Hunter Biden Probe"

A top IRS official involved in the government's probe into Hunter Biden recommended removing whistleblower Gary Shapley from the investigatory team due to perceived bias, according to congressional testimony. Shapley had complained that investigators were limited in what they could ask witnesses. The IRS's entire investigative team was reportedly removed from the Hunter Biden tax fraud probe in alleged retaliation against Shapley. The official denied playing a role in Shapley's removal but confirmed discussions about restricting interviews and the case being presented to the DC US Attorney but not taken on. Shapley described an awkward and contentious meeting with the Delaware US Attorney as his "red-line" moment in the investigation.
