The White House is trying to interfere with a criminal investigation into the tax affairs of President Biden’s son, according to a whistleblower.
An unnamed official at the Internal Revenue Service has asked congressional leaders for immunity if he testifies on Capitol Hill about the inquiry into Hunter Biden’s tax arrangements.
The investigation relates to the overseas business interests of the president’s 53-year-old son. Between 2014 and 2019 Hunter Biden served on the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian gas company, for which he was paid about $50,000 a month. He also has business interests in China. The president is not being investigated.
Update: Attorney General Merrick Garland is ‘senior’ Biden official in Hunter Biden IRS whistleblower claim
WASHINGTON — Attorney General Merrick Garland is the unnamed official whose sworn testimony before Congress is being challenged in a bombshell letter from an IRS whistleblower’s attorney that also alleges a coverup in the Hunter Biden criminal investigation, The Post has learned.
Attorney Mark Lytle wrote Wednesday that the longtime IRS employee wants to provide information to congressional leaders to “contradict sworn testimony to Congress by a senior political appointee” — Garland —and also to detail “preferential treatment” in the criminal probe of the first son.
