Attorney Mark Lytle met with members of two panels to discuss what his client could say about the handling of the Hunter Biden tax investigation.
The attorney for the IRS whistleblower who has alleged that the Justice Department interfered in and mishandled the Hunter Biden criminal probe met with members of Congress last week on behalf of his client, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
Lytle told CBS's chief investigative correspondent Jim Axelrod,"My client wants to come forward to Congress. … He's ready to be questioned about what he knows and what he experienced under the proper legal protections." In a Senate hearing in March, Attorney General Merrick Garland promised he would not interfere with the work of David Weiss, the U.S. attorney in Delaware who is leading the probe. In a recent, unrelated news conference, Garland addressed the IRS whistleblower allegations.
A spokesman for the House Ways and Means committee would not confirm the meeting took place, but told CBS News in a statement,"Chairman [Jason] Smith is working to ensure all of the appropriate steps are taken in this particular investigation to receive and evaluate the allegations and information this whistleblower shares with Congress and has publicly pledged that the committee will go where the facts lead.
