IRS agent whistleblowers raised concerns about the scheduled attendance of political appointees and a national security official at a briefing on the Hunter Biden case — 16 days after President Joe Biden assumed office, the IRS whistleblowers alleged in recent disclosures to Congress.
The circumstances surrounding the meeting raise additional questions about whether or not Attorney General Merrick Garland’s claims of not interfering in the probe of the president’s son are true.
Now-Special Counsel David Weiss’ office and five new assistant attorneys general in the DOJ’s Washington headquarters met on February 5, 2021, to discuss the probe, according to IRS whistleblowers.
“The 5 attorneys have the briefing at 1130 with the AAGs,” Delaware Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf wrote to the IRS and FBI agents working the case. “It is scheduled for an hour, but if we aren’t on at 1230, you will know that it ran long. You guys can either start without us or people can log out and we will shoot an email out when we are done.”
