Hunter Biden’s criminal probe has uncovered a second IRS whistleblower, according to papers given to Congress on Monday. This disclosure follows the recent removal of the whole investigating team from the lengthy investigation of the president’s son. Learn more by reading on.
After being abruptly fired, a 13-year IRS special agent revealed the Hunter Biden investigation. Find out more about his function in the organization’s division of international tax and financial crimes.
An IRS official, including Commissioner Daniel Werfel, is allegedly accused of penalizing a whistleblower for acting “right thing” once they heard about his actions.
“As I’m sure you were aware, I was removed this week from a highly sensitive case … after nearly 5 years of work. I was not afforded the opportunity of a phone call directly from my [Special Agent in Charge] or [Assistant Special Agent in Charge], even though this had been my investigation since the start,” The new informant wrote.
“I … have spent thousands of hours on the case, worked to complete 95% of the investigation, have sacrificed sleep/vacations/gray hairs etc., my husband and I (identifying me as the case agent) were publicly outed and ridiculed on social media due to our sexual orientation, and to ultimately be removed for always trying to do the right thing, is unacceptable in my opinion,” he added.
The second whistleblower sent an email, but the IRS commissioner disregarded it despite saying that internal disclosures were protected. Instead, a senior representative from the agency’s Washington, D.C., field office reprimanded the agent and said they could have breached the law.
“You have been told several times that you need to follow your chain of command. IRS-CI maintains a chain of command for numerous reasons to include trying to stop unauthorized disclosures,” Lola Watson, an IRS special agent assistant, wrote on Friday. “Your email yesterday may have included potential grand jury (aka 6e material) in the subject line and contents of the email, and you included recipients that are not on the 6e list.”
A little more than a month ago, an IRS supervisor accused the Justice Department of “acting inappropriately” in their treatment of the case. Now the agent is making similar accusations. The supervisor, who has been in charge of the case since January 2020, also charged “preferential treatment” for Biden and fabrications in the Attorney General Merrick Garland’s appearance before Congress.
Friday’s testimony before the House Ways and Means Committee will be confidential.
According to disclosures submitted to Congress, IRS whistleblowers expressed serious allegations of retribution and revealed internal issues. The New York Post covered their alarming claims.

Attorneys representing the first whistleblower raised worry over “reprisals” that are “unacceptable and contrary to the law” in a letter to Werfel on Monday.
The agent, according to attorneys Mark Lytle and Tristian Leavitt, who represent the first whistleblower, “had a right to expect that his email would be taken seriously, considered, and addressed professionally without retribution, as the law requires.”
“Instead, the IRS responded with accusations of criminal conduct and warnings to other agents in an apparent attempt to intimidate into silence anyone who might raise similar concerns,” wrote Lytle and Leavitt.
Hunter Biden is under investigation, according to Congressional sources, even though none of the IRS whistleblowers have officially stated as much.
