The Department of Justice is being accused of obstructing an investigation by Inspector General Michael Horowtiz, according to House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan.
In a letter sent to Horowitz Tuesday afternoon, Comer, Smith and Jordan inquire about how DOJ is responding to an IG investigation into whistleblower allegations Hunter Biden was given a free pass and that agents were repeatedly blocked from serious investigation into a number of felony tax evasions and other crimes — including a felony gun charge.
“As you are aware, IRS whistleblowers made protected disclosures to Congress regarding DOJ’s investigation of Hunter Biden. Specifically, the IRS whistleblowers testified that DOJ’s investigation was purposely slow-walked and subjected to improper and politically motivated interference,” the chairmen wrote. “Further, the DOJ and IRS have reportedly engaged in unlawful whistleblower retaliation against the IRS employees. Their testimony raised serious questions about the federal government’s commitment to evenhanded justice.”
