IRS whistleblowers air claims to Congress about ‘slow-walking’ of the Hunter Biden case

House Republicans raised unsubstantiated allegations Wednesday against President Joe Biden over his family’s finances as they summoned IRS whistleblowers to testify publicly for the first time about claims the Justice Department improperly interfered with a tax investigation into Biden’s son Hunter.

Lawmakers were hearing from the two IRS agents assigned to Hunter Biden case, which looked into his failure to pay taxes. The president’s son pleaded guilty recently to misdemeanor tax charges in what Republicans have derided as a “sweetheart” deal.

House Republicans are deepening their own investigation, making broad claims of corruption and wrongdoing by the Bidens that they acknowledge are not proven.
