In a letter obtained by CNN, the US attorney overseeing the Hunter Biden criminal probe refutes two key allegations from IRS whistleblowers, who said they witnessed political interference in the investigation of President Biden’s son
Weiss’ comments, in a letter sent Monday to GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, go against claims from IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley and one of his deputies, who said they witnessed political interference in investigation of President Joe Biden’s son. They testified to Congress that during an October 2022 meeting, Weiss said he had requested to be named as a special counsel but was denied by Justice Department leadership.
” Shapley claimed that Weiss said in that same October 2022 meeting he wasn’t the deciding person on whether to indict Hunter Biden, because political appointees had blocked him from bringing charges in Los Angeles and Washington, DC. Shapley and his deputy raised their concerns in congressional testimony that was made public last month by House Republicans.
