Two IRS whistleblowers testified for the first time publicly about their claims that the DOJ mishandled its yearslong investigation into Pres. Biden's son, Hunter Biden.
Supervisory IRS Special Agent Gary Shapley and IRS Criminal Investigator Joseph Ziegler are sworn-in as they testify during a House Oversight Committee hearing related to the Justice Department's investigation of Hunter Biden, on Capitol Hill, July 19, 2023.
Ziegler, who introduced himself as a Democrat and a gay man, echoed the sentiments conveyed by Shapley and reiterated that he believed that prosecutors "did not appear to follow the normal investigative process." In opening statements of their own, Republicans lauded the whistleblowers as "brave and credible" and "courageous" for their decision to come forward, and called Democrats' efforts to discredit the whistleblowers' testimony as a "vicious smear campaign."
But Weiss himself has directly disputed some of Shapley's most troubling claims, notably that Justice Department leaders rebuffed Weiss' request for special counsel status.
