IRS whistleblowers told Congress that a Justice Department official told investigators not to interview President Biden’s grandchildren as part of the federal investigation into Hunter Biden to avoid getting into “hot water.”
The House Ways and Means Committee released transcripts of interviews with two IRS whistleblowers who claim decisions made during the investigation by federal agency officials appeared to be “influenced by politics.”
Investigators alleged interviewing the grandchildren would have been customary under normal circumstances because some of the payments Hunter Biden made involved his children, including a $30,000 tuition payment to Columbia University.
From Fox News:
According to the whistleblowers, Hunter Biden was fraudulently claiming such amounts as business write-offs on his tax returns, thus they wanted to speak to the grandchildren involved as part of their probe. But Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf told the investigators in a meeting it would "get us into a lot of hot water if we interview the President's grandchildren."
