IRS Removes Entire Investigative Team Probing Hunter Biden Despite Whistleblower Claims of Retaliation
- A whistleblower at the IRS claims his entire team was removed from the Hunter Biden tax investigation despite warning Congress about retaliation.
- The whistleblower's lawyers argue that this move is retaliatory and may obstruct a congressional inquiry.
- IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel had previously testified that there would be no retaliation against whistleblowers.
- The investigation is into Hunter Biden's alleged failure to pay taxes on millions in largely foreign-sourced income.
- If indicted, the removal of the investigative team could undermine the complex prosecution.
