IRS agents Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler gave their first public testimony to Congress Wednesday about what they described as a far-reaching coverup in the criminal tax fraud investigation of first son Hunter Biden.
Shapley and Ziegler laid out an array of claims about irregularities in the five-year probe of the 53-year-old first son, which concluded last month with a probation-only plea deal announced by the Justice Department.
Ziegler remained anonymous until moments before the House Oversight Committee hearing — at which he described himself as a gay Democrat who felt he had to do the “right thing” by coming forward about alleged aberrations in the case.
