<p>House Republicans announced on Tuesday an inquiry into the treatment of Internal Revenue Service (IRS) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/whistleblower" target="_blank" rel="noopener">whistleblowers</a> who raised concerns about the criminal investigation of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hunter-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunter Biden</a>, the son of the president, being <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/plurality-of-americans-lack-confidence-in-dojs-hunter-biden-inquiry-poll" target="_blank" rel="noopener">slow-walked by top officials</a> in a way that could have precluded serious charges.</p>
<p>A trio of committee chairmen sent <a href="https://judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/republicans-judiciary.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/2023-09-12-jdj-js-jc-to-garland-re-defense-atty-obstruction.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a letter</a> to Attorney General Merrick Garland demanding records that could reveal communications between the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/department-of-justice" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department of Justice</a> (DOJ) and Biden&#8217;s legal team by September 25, the latest in a wave of missives seeking information about the conduct of the probe.</p>
<p>They cited a letter that attorney Abbe Lowell sent to Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) in late June &#8220;asserting without evidence&#8221; that IRS agents <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ex-fbi-agent-says-irs-whistleblower-was-right-bidens-were-tipped-off-during-investigation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler</a> had violated federal law with their whistleblower disclosures. Also mentioned by the GOP chairmen was a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/19/us/politics/inside-hunter-biden-plea-deal.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Times report</a> that said Biden&#8217;s legal team telling the DOJ that the whistleblowers broke the law and should be prosecuted.</p>
<p>&#8220;Hunter Biden&#8217;s legal team is engaged in a brazen effort to intimidate and harass the brave Internal Revenue Service (IRS) whistleblowers who exposed numerous apparent irregularities in the Department&#8217;s investigation of Hunter Biden,&#8221; the letter said.</p>
<p>The GOP chairmen also defended the whistleblowers, saying they &#8220;followed the appropriate process by raising their genuine concerns about how the Department conducted its investigation into Mr. Biden.&#8221;</p>
<p>After Congress received testimony from the whistleblowers earlier this year, the DOJ and Biden&#8217;s legal team settled this summer on a plea agreement involving tax evasion and gun charges emerged that could have kept the first son out of prison. But the agreement — <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1774-hunter-s-sweetheart-plea-deal-and-the-continuing-biden-coverup3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dubbed a &#8220;sweetheart plea deal&#8221;</a> by Republicans — fell apart under scrutiny by a judge who raised concerns about an immunity clause.</p>
<p>The DOJ indicated last week that special counsel David Weiss intends to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-special-counsel-david-weiss-to-indict-hunter-biden-filing-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">seek an indictment</a> against Biden on gun charges by the end of the month, while Biden&#8217;s attorney Lowell <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/06/us/politics/hunter-biden-indictment-gun-charges.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">argued</a> in a statement that a pre-trial diversion agreement &#8220;remains valid and prevents any additional charges from being filed.&#8221;</p>
<p>Smith was joined by Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) in signing the new letter to Garland. House Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kevin-mccarthy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kevin McCarthy</a> (R-CA) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mccarthy-announces-formal-impeachment-inquiry-against-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> earlier on Tuesday that the three committee leaders would work together in spearheading an impeachment inquiry against Hunter&#8217;s father, President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a>, which could embroil the entire Biden family.</p>
<p>The Daily Wire reached out to the DOJ and Lowell&#8217;s firm seeking comment on the new letter.</p>
