IRS agent Gary Shapley told the House Ways and Means Committee that Hunter Biden used Joe Biden’s name in 2017 business deal. In a WhatsApp message described by the whistleblower, Hunter said his father would hold a “grudge” if a 2017 deal fell apart
Hunter Biden has been making a concentrated effort in the past week to reduce all of his legal exposure ahead of the 2024 election — but he’s not in the clear just yet.
Three days after Biden pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges to close a federal investigation into his finances, the House Ways and Means Committee released the testimony of an Internal Revenue Service whistleblower detailing new allegations of spurious business tactics. In May, IRS agent Gary Shapley appeared before the Republican-led committee and made two potentially damaging allegations concerning political interference of the Biden probe and the president’s alleged involvement in a shady business deal.
Shapley is a 14-year veteran of the IRS who oversaw the agency’s investigation of Biden’s taxes.
