The lawsuit accuses two IRS investigators of waging a campaign to 'to embarrass and inflict harm on Mr. Biden' by improperly sharing his private taxpayer information in media interviews.
Those developments happened in the wake of troubling claims made by Shapley and Ziegler, who approached Congress in April with allegations that senior Justice Department officialsto bring more serious charges against Hunter Biden, limited their investigative scope, and refused to grant special counsel status to the Trump-appointed U.S. attorney who oversaw the case.
But those denials have done little to blunt concerns that the Justice Department offered the younger Biden a "sweetheart deal" from prosecutors, as congressional Republicans have claimed. Nearly half of Americans said they were not confident that the Justice Department has handled its probe of Hunter Biden in a fair and nonpartisan manner, according to an ABC News/Ipsos poll from earlier this month.
Congressional Republicans voted in June to release the transcripts of interviews they'd conducted with the two whistleblowers. But in subsequent television and podcast interviews, the whistleblowers made statements not included in their testimony, Lowell wrote -- despite instruction from the committee not to share what was discussed in the interview "to individuals not designated to receive such information.
