A second IRS whistleblower in the criminal investigation of Hunter Biden came forward Monday in documents sent to Congress after DOJ purged the entire team looking into President Biden’s son for tax fraud and related crimes.
The second whistleblower worked on the probe since 2018. The whistleblower wrote an email to seven senior IRS officials, including Commissioner Daniel Werfel, stating that he believes he was removed for doing the “right thing.”
He wrote: “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 whistleblower wrote.
“There is a human impact to the decisions being made that no one in the government seems to care about or understand.
“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.
“For the last couple years, my [supervisor] and I have tried to gain the attention of our senior leadership about certain issues prevalent regarding the investigation.
“I have asked for countless meetings with our chief and deputy chief, often to be left out on an island and not heard from.
“The lack of IRS-Criminal Investigation senior leadership involvement in this investigation is deeply troubling and unacceptable.
“Rather than recognizing the need to ensure close engagement and full support of the investigatory team in this extraordinarily sensitive case, the response too often had been that we were isolated (even when I said on multiple occasions that I wasn’t being heard and that I thought I wasn’t able to perform my job adequately because of the actions of the USAO and DOJ, my concerns were ignored by senior leadership).”
“The ultimate decision to remove the investigatory team from [redacted] without actually talking with that investigatory team, in my opinion was a decision made not to side with the investigators but to side with the US Attorney’s office and Department of Justice who we have been saying for some time has been acting inappropriately,” he wrote.
