IRS Whistleblower Goes Public Over Hunter Biden Probe
‘DEVIATIONS’
“When I took control of this particular investigation, I immediately saw deviations from the normal process,” said Gary Shapley, a 14-year agency veteran.
A whistleblower from inside the Internal Revenue Service gave his first public interview Wednesday—alleging that the agency mishandled an ongoing probe into the finances of President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden. Gary Shapley, who has been an agent at the IRS for more than 14 years, told the CBS Evening News that he felt “duty bound” to speak up after witnessing alleged political pressure applied by the DOJ and other federal agencies. “There were multiple steps that were slow-walked—were just completely not done—at the direction of the Department of Justice,” he said. “When I took control of this particular investigation, I immediately saw deviations from the normal process. It was way outside the norm of what I’ve experienced in the past.”
