IRS investigators Gary Shapley and Joe Ziegler, who blew the whistle on Hunter Biden’s tax crimes, filed a $20 million defamation lawsuit Friday against the First Son’s attorney Abbe Lowell in Washington DC.
They accuse Lowell of behaving with “clear malice” when he retaliated against their whistleblowing by making defamatory statements to the media alleging that they had illegally leaked Hunter’s private tax information.
As a result of Lowell’s statements Shapley and Ziegler claim their reputations suffered “incredible and malicious harm.”
