Now that two IRS whistleblowers have spent hours testifying before Congress, lawmakers have multiple leads on which to follow up as they investigate Hunter Biden’s business dealings and what the Justice Department did to get to the bottom of them.
Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, two top IRS agents who spent years working on the Hunter Biden investigation, focused the House GOP’s efforts in a new and more specific direction: whether the Justice Department prevented Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss from building a case on what is, according to the whistleblowers, strong evidence of financial crimes.
While the whistleblower disclosures advanced the case dramatically, it also opened up numerous additional lines of inquiry that congressional investigators will need to explore.Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf featured prominently in both whistleblowers’ testimony as a constant impediment to the advancement of the case.
Shapley said he and his team could not determine why she stopped so many steps. Although other attorneys in Weiss’s office were mentioned in the whistleblowers’ testimony, congressional investigators are likely to focus on Wolf because of the outsize role she played in blocking steps that could have advanced the case.
E. Martin Estrada, the U.S. attorney in the Central District for California, has denied blocking Weiss from bringing charges against Hunter Biden in his district, as the whistleblowers said. House Republicans have said they want to speak with both Estrada and Graves about the interactions their respective offices had with the federal prosecutors in Delaware, given the conflicting statements Weiss has made about his authority and the whistleblowers’ testimony.
