GOP lawmakers seek disciplinary action over whistleblower retaliation claims -
In a letter to Mr. Kerner, who is in the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, the lawmakers say the whistleblowers and their investigative team were kicked off the Hunter Biden tax fraud probe and denied career advancement “in apparent retaliation for their legally protected communication with Congress.”
The letter was signed by House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer, Kentucky Republican; House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, Missouri Republican; Senate Budget Committee ranking member Chuck Grassley, Iowa Republican, and Investigations Permanent Subcommittee ranking member Ron Johnson, Wisconsin Republican.
Critics say Hunter Biden received a “sweetheart” plea deal on two misdemeanor charges following a five-year investigation into tax fraud. Whistleblower Gary Shapley and another anonymous IRS investigator told Congress that the Justice Department worked to protect Hunter Biden, blocking search warrants and preventing them from fully investigating the charges.
