Attorney General Merrick Garland gave his first public response to an IRS supervisor-turned-whistleblower who claimed to have information for Congress about potential mishandling of the yearslong federal investigation into Pres. Biden's son Hunter Biden.
Among the allegations laid out in a letter to lawmakers last month was that the whistleblower would contradict Garland's testimony on Capitol Hill that the Hunter Biden probe has remained free from any improper political interference, sources have told ABC News.
Various news outlets have reported for months that prosecutors were nearing a conclusion, but no charges have yet been filed. ABC News previously reported the younger Biden borrowed $2 million from his lawyer and confidant Kevin Morris to pay the IRS for back taxes, penalties and liens that he owed.that he was "fully cooperating, and I'm fully confident that at the end of the day it's all gonna be fine."
Leading Republicans, who have campaigned in part on promises of investigating the Biden family, seized on the whistleblower letter, reacting with alarm.
