The Internal Revenue Service whistleblower who sounded the alarm on the Department of Justice’s handling of the Hunter Biden tax probe broke his silence Wednesday evening.
The IRS agent blew the whistle on a DOJ investigation into President Joe Biden’s son’s alleged tax fraud and financial crimes, according to CBS News.
Gary Shapley, who has been with the agency for 14 years, believed it was his duty to draw attention to the probe and felt the prosecutors were mishandling such “a high profile, controversial” case.
“There were multiple steps that were slow-walked — were just completely not done — at the direction of the Department of Justice,” Shapley told CBS News. “When I took control of this particular investigation, I immediately saw deviations from the normal process.
“It was way outside the norm of what I’ve experienced in the past.”
