Hunter Biden’s attorney, a week after IRS agents made allegations about the thoroughness of a federal investigation of the president’s son, is criticizing Rep. Jason Smith (R-Mo.) for the way the panel interviewed the agents and released the transcript.
battling with Congress illustrated that while the president’s son appears close to resolving the federal misdemeanor charges — and this week also settled a separate child support case — he still faces a number of challenges that could yield further headlines. The action is set to move from the courthouse to Capitol Hill, as Republicans delve into Biden’s business dealings and scrutinize the Justice Department’s handling of the criminal investigation.
“It’s little surprise that Hunter Biden’s attorneys are attempting to chill our investigation and discredit the whistleblowers who say they have already faced retaliation from the IRS and the Department of Justice despite statutory protections established by law,” Smith said Friday afternoon. The attorney argued that spotlighting the views of two agents hostile to Biden reflected bad faith on the committee’s part, calling its release of the transcripts “an obvious ploy to feed the misinformation campaign to harm our client, Hunter Biden, as a vehicle to attack his father.”
President Biden was out of office at the time, but he has repeatedly said that he never engaged in any of his son’s foreign business dealings. This week, he said he was not with his son when the WhatsApp message was sent.
