A top House Republican released new details from IRS whistleblowers involved in the criminal investigation into Hunter Biden that allege the lead federal prosecutor was denied when he tried to bring charges in Washington, D.C., and in California against President Joe Biden’s son.
Hunter Biden reached a plea deal on federal charges related to tax crimes and the illegal purchase of a handgun, Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss’s office revealed in a court filing on Tuesday.
“The U.S. attorney has been advised that he has full authority to make kind of those referrals you’re talking about or to bring cases in other jurisdictions if he feels it is necessary, and I will assure that if he does, then he will be able to do that,” Garland promised. “He has been advised that he should get anything he needs. … I have not heard anything from that office that suggests they are not able to do anything that the U.S. attorney wants them to do.
Smith additionally said that “crucial information about the investigation was divulged to Hunter Biden’s attorneys,” pointing to Hunter Biden’s lawyers being given a heads-up about a potential search of a northern Virginia storage unit where Hunter Biden had files. The House chairman said the IRS investigation into Hunter Biden opened in November 2018 and that whistleblower testimony revealed that"the IRS recommended charges against Hunter Biden that included attempt to evade or evade tax — a felony — fraud or false statements — a felony — and willful failure to file returns, supply information, or pay tax crimes.”
Then-Attorney General William Barr rejected the idea of a special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden in December 2020 but said last year that Garland should have granted those powers to Weiss, echoing GOP demands from Capitol Hill. The IRS whistleblowers provided Congress with granular details on the crimes Hunter Biden is accused of.
