Judiciary Committee Chairman <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jim-jordan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jim Jordan</a> (R-OH) subpoenaed a federal prosecutor who allegedly placed constraints on the years-long investigation into <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hunter-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunter Biden</a>, House Republicans <a href="https://twitter.com/JudiciaryGOP/status/1727076808657682589" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> on Tuesday.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf of Delaware was directed to appear for a deposition <a href="https://twitter.com/CBS_Herridge/status/1727362535157072043" target="_blank" rel="noopener">on December 7</a> as part of the House GOP&#8217;s review of how the Department of Justice (DOJ) has conducted its criminal probe into Hunter Biden as well as the corruption-focused <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/speaker-johnson-says-biden-impeachment-inquiry-has-reached-stage-for-key-witness-testimony" target="_blank" rel="noopener">impeachment inquiry</a> against his father, President Joe Biden.
Jordan explained in a <a href="https://judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/republicans-judiciary.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/2023-11-21-jdj-to-wolf-subpoena-cover-letter.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> to Wolf the various ways in which information obtained by the judiciary panel indicates she was &#8220;responsible for many of the decisions to deviate from standard investigative protocol during the Department’s investigation of Hunter Biden.&#8221;
These included claims that Wolf, either directly or by instructing others, blocked certain lines of inquiry about Joe Biden and tipped off Hunter Biden’s legal team about a planned search of a storage unit.
In addition, testimony from <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/internal-revenue-service-irs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Internal Revenue Service (IRS) </a>whistleblower Gary Shapley alleged that Wolf &#8220;obstructed&#8221; another U.S. attorney&#8217;s team in Pennsylvania from briefing Delaware U.S. Attorney Davis Weiss&#8217; office about <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fbi-biden-bribery-file-released-burisma-head-says-he-was-coerced-into-paying-bidens-10-million" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bribery allegations</a> concerning Joe and Hunter Biden, the letter said.
The Daily Wire reached out to the DOJ seeking comment on the subpoena. Previously, the agency has raised concerns to Jordan about <a href="https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/23886269/justice-department-letter.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;misrepresentations&#8221;</a> that could impede public confidence in the administration of justice.
Jordan said the DOJ has allowed other employees to testify, &#8220;albeit with substantial scoping limitations,&#8221; but noted that Wolf is an exception because of &#8220;unpersuasive&#8221; arguments that the agency has an &#8220;ongoing investigation&#8221; as well as a &#8220;longstanding policy&#8221; of not making non-Senate-confirmed and line-level DOJ employees available for interviews.
After a plea deal with Hunter Biden collapsed under scrutiny from a judge, Attorney General Merrick Garland <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/appointment-special-counsel-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">granted</a> Weiss special counsel status in August of this year, giving Weiss broader authority to bring charges outside of his own district.
A federal grand jury in Delaware indicted Hunter Biden on federal gun charges in September, after which he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hunter-biden-pleads-not-guilty-to-gun-charges" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pleaded not guilty</a>. The first son may also face an indictment on tax evasion charges, which were part of the plea agreement.
Weiss testified in a deposition before the House Judiciary Committee earlier this month, after which Jordan indicated <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jim-jordan-shares-key-takeaway-from-hunter-biden-prosecutors-testimony" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;the key takeaway&#8221;</a> was that the prosecutor requested but did not receive <a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/28/515#:~:text=The%20Attorney%20General%20or%20any,jury%20proceedings%20and%20proceedings%20before" target="_blank" rel="noopener">special attorney powers</a> that would have allowed him to bring charges outside of his jurisdiction in Delaware last year without the partnership of the local U.S. attorney.
That would appear to affirm concerns, spurred by whistleblower testimony from <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/irs-whistleblower-says-story-from-hunter-biden-prosecutor-has-been-changing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shapley and another IRS agent</a> who also worked on the Hunter Biden case, that the DOJ slow-walked the inquiry in a way that may have <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/release/hearing-wrap-up-irs-whistleblowers-expose-how-bidens-were-treated-differently%EF%BF%BC/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">precluded other serious charges</a> due to the statute of limitations.
In response to an inquiry by The Daily Wire, the DOJ shared a statement from Weiss to the House Judiciary Committee in which he said &#8220;processes&#8221; associated with investigative and charging decisions did not &#8220;interfere&#8221; with his authority.

&#8220;At no time was I blocked, or otherwise prevented from pursuing charges or taking the steps necessary in the investigation by other United States Attorneys, the Tax Division or anyone else at the Department of Justice,&#8221; he testified.

A federal judge rejected a request from <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hunter-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunter Biden&#8217;s</a> legal team this week to allow the president&#8217;s son to make his arraignment on federal gun charges through a video conference instead of having to show up in person.
U.S. Magistrate Judge from the District of Delaware Christopher Burke <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23986952-ruling-on-hunter-biden-arraignment">rejected</a> the request in an order on Wednesday afternoon.
Burke gave multiple reasons for denying, including that the Court believes the appearance in important because its one of the few times that the defendant will physically be in the courtroom and the setting &#8220;helps to emphasize the &#8216;integrity and solemnity of a federal criminal proceeding.'&#8221;
Special Counsel David Weiss indicted Hunter Biden earlier this month on three charges related to the purchase of a firearm, including allegedly making multiple false statements, and being unlawfully in possession of a firearm.
&#8220;Moreover, in this matter, most of the criminal charges that Defendant now faces are new and were not addressed at his prior hearing in July 2023-such that this will be the first time they are discussed in court,&#8221; Burke wrote. &#8220;The Court will also address Defendant&#8217;s pre-trial release conditions; while the Court expects it is likely that the currently-imposed conditions will remain in place, were either side to suggest alterations, the Court would want to be able to address that issue in person with the parties.&#8221;
&#8220;Other than during the exigent circumstances of the COVID crisis (when the Court was proceeding under the auspices of the now-expired CARES Act standing order), in 12 years as a judge on this Court, the undersigned cannot recall ever having conducted an initial appearance other than in person,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;That has been the case as to defendants of all types, regardless of their location or personal circumstance.&#8221;
Burke used the words from Hunter Biden&#8217;s legal team against him, saying that he agrees that Hunter Biden &#8220;should not receive special treatment in this matter-absent some unusual circumstance, he should be treated just as would any other defendant in our Court.&#8221;
&#8220;Any other defendant would be required to attend his or her initial appearance in person,&#8221; he said. &#8220;So too here.&#8221;

Hunter Biden Goes To Court To Plead Guilty To Tax Violations

Federal Judge Rejects Hunter Biden Request To Appear In Court Via Video Conference

Courts

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hunter-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunter Biden</a> sued the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/internal-revenue-service-irs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IRS</a> on Monday over alleged violations of his privacy when agents went to Congress with details of the agency’s investigation into Biden’s taxes.
Biden is under pressure from federal investigators and prosecutors and has adopted an adversarial stance since a plea deal fell apart in July. The first son’s approach to federal officials mirrors his stance toward Republicans accusing him of engaging in corrupt overseas business dealings.
Biden’s lawsuit targets the IRS, alleging that two whistleblowers who made claims of misconduct leaked sensitive information about his taxes to Congress. The lawsuit claims the leaks violated federal tax laws and Biden’s right to privacy, according to <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/09/18/hunter-biden-lawsuit-irs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Post</a>.
Biden “has no fewer or lesser rights than any other American citizen, and no government agency or government agent has free reign to violate his rights simply because of who he is,” the lawsuit says.
IRS agents Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler went to Congress to expose what they said was a double standard in the way the IRS and Department of Justice had handled the investigation into Biden’s tax affairs and purchase of a firearm. The whistleblowers said they were blocked from pursuing lines of questioning that had the potential of implicating Biden’s father, President Joe Biden. They also said Hunter was given favorable treatment, such as unnecessary warnings ahead of certain investigative actions.

The lawsuit claims that the whistleblowers revealed certain information to Congress that could only be gained from viewing Hunter’s personal tax information.
“This assault on Mr. Biden’s rights involved the public disclosure of his confidential tax information during more than 20 nationally televised and non-congressionally sanctioned interviews and numerous public statements,” the lawsuit says, according to the Post.
The whistleblower made “detailed allegations regarding the specific tax years under investigation, the amounts of deductions, the nature of those deductions, and allegations of liability regarding specific tax years and the amount thereof, that could only be known to them based on a review of the physical tax returns themselves,” the lawsuit says.
A plea agreement Hunter’s legal team negotiated with Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, before Weiss was named special counsel, fell apart after the judge in the case began asking about the limits on immunity granted by a diversion agreement on a gun charge. The failed deal would have included Hunter pleading guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges.

Hunter Biden Sues IRS Over Whistleblower Leaks

Lawsuit

The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/secret-service">Secret Service</a> released a brief statement on Sunday after reporters spotted a protester who appeared to be armed outside President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden">Joe Biden</a>&#8216;s residence in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/delaware">Delaware</a>.
&#8220;The individual expressing his constitutional rights had no impact on any of the Secret Service’s protectees’ movements,&#8221; said U.S. Secret Service spokesperson Special Agent Steve Kopek.
Earlier in the day, a reporter shared with the public that a &#8220;solo&#8221; protester who &#8220;appeared to have a gun in his holster&#8221; was spotted walking down the road toward Biden&#8217;s home in Wilmington, where the president had stayed overnight.
The man was &#8220;wearing a neon yellow and orange safety vest, khaki cargo shorts, tan boots and socks,&#8221; said a report from the press pool corps assigned to cover the president.

He carried a sign that said, &#8220;Bidens are criminals, 20 shell companies?! Where&#8217;s the laptop? 10% for the big guy&#8221; on one side and &#8220;Joe has aliases?! Robert L. Peters, Robin Ware, JRN Ware&#8221; on the other side, the pool report added.
The sign makes reference to findings that undergird allegations of corruption that led to the announcement of an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-impeachment-of-joe-biden">impeachment inquiry</a> in the GOP-led House last week. Biden has rejected the claims of wrongdoing.

The pool report on Sunday also said reporters spotted a Secret Service vehicle following the man down the road. It further stated that the pool reporter reached out to the Secret Service for comment and noted that Delaware is an open-carry state.

Biden&#8217;s motorcade later drove past the protester as the president began his journey back to Washington, D.C., the pool reporter later shared.
The incident in Delaware comes after police said a man armed with a loaded gun and posing as a U.S. Marshal was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/man-with-gun-posing-as-u-s-marshal-arrested-at-rfk-jr-campaign-event-police">arrested</a> outside an event in Los Angeles for Democratic presidential candidate Robert F.

Kennedy responded by thanking law enforcement and <a href="https://twitter.com/RobertKennedyJr/status/1702901035243823354">reiterating his call</a> to Biden for Secret Service protection.

President Joe Biden on Sunday told reporters that even though he was at his Rehoboth Beach house, he was not actually on “vacation.” 
Biden <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/09/04/biden-insists-delaware-beach-house-visit-isnt-vacation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> the Secret Service is working on his other home in Wilmington, Delaware, to “make it secure.” 
“The reason I’m here today, just for one day — I know people [say] I’m on vacation, I’m not,” Biden said while leaving mass at St. Edmond Roman Catholic Church in Rehoboth Beach. “I have no home to go to. Secret Service has torn my house up in a good way to make it secure. So I have no place to go when I come to Delaware except here right now. I&#8217;m only here for one day.”
A reporter then asked Biden whether he was homeless, to which the president replied, “Oh I’m not homeless, I just have one home. I have a beautiful home. I’m down here for the day because I can’t go home.”

According to the New York Post, Biden has said the Secret Service has been doing work – including installing bulletproof windows – at his Wilmington residence since April. 
The president departed Delaware at 7:15 a.m. ET on Monday and arrived in Philadelphia shortly after, according to his <a href="https://factba.se/biden/calendar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">public schedule</a>. The day before, he had no official events scheduled. He is expected to return to Washington on Monday evening.

While in Philadelphia, Biden delivered a Labor Day speech to Sheet Metal Workers Local 19 on the importance of unions. During his address, the president <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/04/politics/joe-biden-labor-day/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">touted</a> “Bidenomics.”  
“[The Biden administration is] replacing trickle-down economics with what everyone on Wall Street is referring to these days as Bidenomics, and guess what? It’s working. It’s about building the economy from the middle out and the bottom up not the top down.”
A recent report from the Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/09/02/slacker-in-chief-biden-keeps-up-record-40-vacay-pace/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">referred</a> to the president as the “Slacker-in-chief” and found that since taking office, he has spent 40% of his presidency on “personal overnight trips away from the White House.” That adds up to all or part of 382 of the 957 days the president has been in office as of early this month, according to the Post. 
“We have millions of illegal immigrants pouring across our borders. Violent crime is surging. Inflation is crushing hard-working Americans. Our enemies around the world are emboldened,” Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) told the outlet regarding Biden’s vacation time. “Meanwhile, Joe Biden is filmed on the beach with his handlers preventing him from speaking to the media to answer basic questions Americans deserve answers to.”
After Biden’s most recent comments, the House Judiciary GOP <a href="https://twitter.com/JudiciaryGOP/status/1698517335672242561" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a> to X, “There are approximately 30,000 homeless veterans in the United States. But Joe Biden, who has two homes, plus the White House, says he has no where (sic) to go. Unbelievable.”

Former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy dismissed the special counsel investigation into <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hunter-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunter Biden</a> as a “sham” on Friday.
McCarthy, who led the prosecution of terrorists behind the 1993 World Trade Center attack, said Attorney General <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/merrick-garland" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Merrick Garland</a>’s decision to appoint <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/delaware" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Delaware</a> U.S. Attorney David Weiss as special counsel violated Justice Department (DOJ) guidelines. Weiss, as a top official in the DOJ, does not have the requisite independence from the U.S. government to credibly prosecute a case involving the president’s son, McCarthy said.
“This is a sham. There is no special counsel investigation, and there is no Biden investigation,” McCarthy said on Fox News on Friday. “What makes a special counsel special is that you’re a lawyer who’s brought in from outside the United States government – not just outside the Justice Department, outside the government.”
“This is the Biden Justice Department’s vehicle for maintaining control of an investigation that they are not pursuing. They’ve had the case for five years. They’ve never indicted it. They’re strategically allowing the statute of limitations to run to the point that the 2014 and 2015 conduct, which covers most of the $21 million that the congressional investigation report showed this week, that’s already time barred. And it’s time barred because David Weiss himself decided to let those charges die rather than bring an indictment,” McCarthy continued.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Garland announced Weiss’ appointment to special counsel on Friday, a shocking twist to a case that was stopped just short of a resolution last month when a judge questioned the terms of a plea deal that prosecutors acknowledged had no precedent. Garland said Weiss requested the designation last week, and the attorney general granted it because of the case’s “extraordinary circumstances.”
The special counsel appointment has raised skepticism among Republicans who have long called for a special counsel in the case. Biden’s defense team is also doubtful of the need for a special counsel.
Republicans do not trust Weiss, and they see his appointment as a possible attempt to shield the U.S. attorney from testifying to Congress about his investigation into Biden.
“This action by Biden’s DOJ cannot be used to obstruct congressional investigations or whitewash the Biden family corruption,” House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) <a href="https://twitter.com/speakermccarthy/status/1690049403824807939" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a> on X. “If Weiss negotiated the sweetheart deal that couldn’t get approved, how can he be trusted as a Special Counsel?”
Biden defense attorney Abbe Lowell appeared on CBS News over the weekend and said that after a five-year investigation, there is no chance Weiss uncovers evidence that has not already been considered.

“If anything changes from his conclusion, which was two tax misdemeanors and a diverted gun charge, the question should be asked: What infected the process that was not the facts and the law?” Lowell said. Biden’s failed plea deal included two misdemeanor tax charges, as well as a felony gun charge that Biden would have the opportunity to expunge if he completed a diversion program.

President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-admin-cuts-funding-for-school-hunting-archery-training-programs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> has decided to take a break from doing nothing and will be hitting Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, for the next 10 days.
At this point — to steal a line from Hillary Clinton — what difference does it make whether he&#8217;s in D.C. or catching some rays in the sun? Having Biden in office or at the beach does not really change the direction of the country or impact executive decision-making.
It is abundantly clear that he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-will-be-without-both-shadow-presidents-so-who-is-really-running-the-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">isn&#8217;t really running the country</a> — and somebody else is calling the shots.

If &#8220;you look at the assets he’s accumulated on a Senate salary, it’s pretty impressive,&#8221; House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/07/22/bidens-linked-to-russia-ukraine-via-more-bank-records-comer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on Cruz&#8217;s podcast last Friday.
“So you’re saying a classic Corvette doesn’t buy itself?” Cruz joked back. &#8220;A Delaware beach house doesn’t buy itself?&#8221;

As Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joe-biden-is-a-liar-he-knew" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pointed out</a>, &#8220;Hunter Biden texted his daughter in 2019, &#8216;I hope you can all do what I did and pay for everything for this entire family for 30 years. It’s really hard. But don’t worry. Unlike Pop, I won’t make you give me half your salary.'&#8221;
&#8220;That’s the ball game,&#8221; Shapiro said. &#8220;Does that sound like the kind of thing you would text to a family member that was actually entirely false and in reality, no money had ever changed hands?&#8221;
No, it doesn&#8217;t. And messages like that could help explain why Biden&#8217;s Department of Justice and Hunter&#8217;s attorneys apparently attempted to hide from a federal judge that a plea deal worked out between the two parties could grant  Hunter immunity from Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA) violations in the future.
Perhaps in light of the plea deal imploding, the president decided he wanted to do what any man of his age and stature wants to do: Enjoy the lazy dog days of summer by the coast. He was there a few weeks ago and was able to enjoy some peace and quiet. It looked like nobody wanted to talk to him. That makes sense. Would you know Biden from any other elderly retiree on the beach?

Biden To Take A Break From Doing Nothing, Hits The Beach For 10 Days

The opening statement for “Whistleblower X,” an unidentified special agent with the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/internal-revenue-service-irs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IRS</a>’s criminal investigations division, has been released ahead of his Wednesday afternoon testimony before House lawmakers. 
Whistleblower X and Gary Shapley, who worked as an IRS supervisory agent on the agency’s investigation into <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hunter-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunter Biden</a>’s tax affairs, will testify before the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability on Wednesday at around 1:00 p.m. 
&#8220;I have witnessed the corrosion of ethical standards and the abuse of power that threaten our nation. It is within this context that I have chosen to shed light on these actions and expose those responsible. I recognize that while I was present at the start of this investigation and was closely involved with the investigation for roughly five years —  that I am just a part of the story,&#8221; the planned opening statement from the whistleblower<a href="https://justthenews.com/sites/default/files/2023-07/Whistleblower%20X%20Testimony%20%281%29.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> says</a>. &#8220;My aim is to address systemic problems that have allowed misconduct to flourish. It is not a call for blame but a call for accountability and reform.&#8221;
The identity of Whistleblower X will be revealed during the testimony, where both whistleblowers are expected to discuss investigations into the Biden family’s alleged influence-peddling abroad and the treatment of Hunter by the Justice Department. 
The whistleblower added that he had worked at the IRS since 2010, saying he was “risking his career” by coming forward.
“I believe that the Delaware USAO and DOJ-Tax have a clear target on me and my supervisors back and I believe that they are just waiting for an opportunity to pounce on us. My own agency retaliated against me and threatened me with criminal conduct in response to an internal email I sent to IRS leadership, even after years of essentially being left on an island when it came to this investigation,” he wrote.

He also disputed several statements made by U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who is in charge of the Hunter prosecution case, saying that Hunter should face more serious criminal charges. 
“If the Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss followed DOJ policy as he stated in his most recent letter, Hunter Biden should have been charged with a tax felony, and not only the tax misdemeanor charge. We need to treat each taxpayer the same under law,” he wrote. 
The statement also expressed concerns about the investigation into Hunter being conducted in Delaware because of the Biden family reputation in the state. During the investigation, he said several instances of probable cause were found, but no search warrants were conducted. Additionally, he said that his supervisors were hesitant to interview Biden family members linked to the case because they would get in “hot water” for speaking with the now-president’s grandchildren.

IRS Whistleblower Says DOJ Waiting To ‘Pounce’ In Retaliation Over Hunter Biden Investigation

Whistleblowers

Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf is a central figure in the investigation into <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hunter-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunter Biden</a> and is alleged to have stymied investigators and aided the Biden family.
Wolf is the subject of a <a href="https://www.grassley.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/grassley_to_weiss_1023.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/chuck-grassley" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chuck Grassley</a> (R-IA), ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee, sent to the U.S. Attorney for the District of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/delaware" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Delaware</a>, David Weiss, on Sunday. Wolf worked directly beneath Weiss on the Department of Justice and IRS probe into Biden’s overseas business dealings and tax affairs.
In addition to other allegations about Wolf’s role in the probe, Grassley’s letter revealed an October 2020 briefing that Wolf allegedly received from the Department of Justice and FBI. The alleged briefing covered information the FBI obtained from a confidential human source alleging a foreign bribery scheme involving Biden and his father, President Joe Biden.
“[O]n October 23, 2020, Justice Department and FBI Special Agents from the Pittsburgh Field Office briefed Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf, one of your top prosecutors, and FBI Special Agents from the Baltimore Field Office with respect to the contents of the FBI-generated FD1023 alleging a criminal bribery scheme involving then-Vice President Biden and Hunter Biden,” the letter states, citing information from “individuals aware of the meeting.”
“[H]owever, the meeting did not include any IRS agents,” it says. A pair of IRS whistleblowers – both are investigators who worked on the agency team investigating Hunter’s tax affairs – have stepped forward to Congress to allege that their investigation was hampered by Justice Department prosecutors, Wolf in particular.
Grassley’s Sunday letter requests information from the Justice Department on whether Wolf, alleged to have frustrated IRS investigators in multiple instances, blocked or played a part in blocking the investigation into the FD-1023, as well.
IRS supervisory agent Gary Shapley, who oversaw the IRS investigation into Hunter, and another unnamed IRS agent <a href="https://waysandmeans.house.gov/smith-testimony-of-irs-employees-reveals-biden-irs-doj-interfered-in-tax-investigation-of-hunter-biden-revealing-preferential-treatment-for-wealthy-and-politically-connected/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">testified</a> in a closed-door session to the House Ways and Means Committee. The agents alleged a series of conflicts of interest and questionable decisions by Weiss’s office and the Department of Justice that led to Hunter potentially getting a sweetheart deal and avoiding the worst of what the investigation turned up.
According to a plea deal that a judge has not yet approved, Hunter has agreed to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and enter a pretrial diversion program for a felony firearms violation. The firearms charge will be waived if he successfully completes the diversion program.
At several significant junctions in the investigation, Shapley and the unnamed IRS agent alleged that Wolf undercut or blocked IRS investigators. Shapley alleged that Wolf instructed him not to pursue veins of investigation that could implicate President Biden, including asking about the identity of the “Big Guy” referenced in an email found on Hunter’s laptop.
Shapley attempted to obtain a search warrant for a guest house owned by the president that Hunter was staying in. IRS agents had reason to believe that they would find more evidence concerning alleged corrupt dealings by Hunter that implicated the president. Wolf denied them pursuing the warrant.
Wolf “told us there was more than enough probable cause for the physical search warrant there, but the question was whether the juice was worth the squeeze,” Shapley told the Ways and Means Committee. She said, “there is no way we will get [the warrant] approved,” according to Shapley.
IRS agents later prepared another affidavit to search a storage unit in Virginia that they believed contained other evidence of Hunter’s dealings. “AUSA Wolf once again objected,” Shapley said. The IRS agents took their case to Weiss, who said they could raid the storage unit if it wasn’t accessed for 30 days.

“No sooner had we gotten off the call then we heard AUSA Wolf had simply reached out to Hunter Biden&#8217;s defense counsel and told him about the storage unit, once again ruining our chance to get to evidence before being destroyed, manipulated, or concealed,” Shapley said.
Wolf is a longtime assistant U.S. attorney for the District of Delaware, starting work as an assistant U.S. attorney in 2006. Before taking that position, Wolf was a clerk for a George H. W. Bush-appointed district court judge, Anita Brody. Wolf also spent time working for Ropes &amp; Gray, one of the largest and most liberal law firms in the country, according to <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2023/06/28/lesley-wolf-us-attorney-covered-hunter-biden/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Caller</a>.

Questions Over Hunter Biden Probe Swirl Around Prosecutor Lesley Wolf. Here’s What You Need To Know.

Scandals

A former business associate of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hunter-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunter Biden</a> reportedly offered to testify in front of a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/delaware" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Delaware</a> grand jury, but never received an invitation.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tony-bobulinski" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tony Bobulinski</a>, who worked with Biden on a 2017 deal with the Chinese energy company CEFC, sent an offer to testify to the U.S. attorney in Delaware David Weiss but never received a response, according to <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/hunter-biden-tony-bobulinski-former-business-partner-grand-jury/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CBS News</a>. Bobulinski has asserted publicly that Biden engaged in influence peddling with his father, the sitting president of the United States, to score hefty payouts from foreign agents.
“I’ve heard Joe Biden say that he&#8217;s never discussed business with Hunter. That is false. I have firsthand knowledge about this because I directly dealt with the Biden family, including Joe Biden,” Bobulinski said in a press conference in 2020.
Whistleblowers have alleged that the Department of Justice interfered with the investigation into Hunter Biden to close off avenues that could implicate his father, the president of the United States. Bobulinski’s reported failure to testify to the grand jury raises further questions about the extent of alleged DOJ intrusion into the Biden investigation.
Not appearing before the grand jury does not mean his statements and evidence were not presented to the grand jury, however, <a href="https://twitter.com/shipwreckedcrew/status/1674521419529752576" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to</a> former federal prosecutor Bill Shipley.
In addition to asserting DOJ interference, whistleblowers with the IRS team investigating Biden’s tax affairs turned over a 2017 WhatsApp message that allegedly shows Biden attempting to intimidate a CEFC executive with his father’s approval.
“I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight,” Biden allegedly wrote to CEFC executive Henry Zhao. “And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Within days of sending the message, accounts associated with CEFC wired around $5 million to accounts associated with Biden.
Whistleblowers have alleged that the Department of Justice and Attorney General Merrick Garland denied Weiss’s requests to bring charges against Biden in Washington, D.C., and California. Garland also allegedly denied a request to give Weiss special counsel status.
Garland has flatly denied all whistleblower claims. The New York Times has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-york-times-buries-the-lede-confirms-hunter-biden-probe-whistleblower-claims" target="_blank" rel="noopener">confirmed</a> at least one of the claims, however. The paper reported the top federal prosecutor in Washington blocked an attempt by Weiss to bring charges against Biden last year.
President Joe Biden has repeatedly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joe-biden-doubles-down-on-campaign-claim-he-never-spoke-with-hunter-about-business-deals" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asserted</a> he knew nothing about his son’s business dealings. The president rejected suggestions that he ever spoke with his son about those business affairs during the 2020 campaign, and reasserted that claim recently when questioned about the WhatsApp revelation.
“How involved were you in your son’s Chinese shake-down text message? Were you sitting there? Were you involved?” a reporter asked the president on Wednesday.
Biden responded: “No, I wasn’t.”
A statement offered by the White House counsel’s office last week hedged the president’s role in relation to his son’s business dealings. The statement did not assert that the president never spoke with his son about those dealings.
“As we have said many times before, the President was not in business with his son,” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-denies-taking-part-in-sons-alleged-shakedown-of-chinese-businessman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Ian Sams, spokesman for the White House counsel’s office.

Report: Hunter Biden Business Partner Given Cold Shoulder On Offer To Testify To Grand Jury

Transgender-identifying <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/delaware" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Delaware</a> state Senator Sarah McBride announced a bid for the U.S. House of Representatives this week to bring “diversity” to the legislative body. 
McBride, <a href="https://freebeacon.com/latest-news/trans-candidate-mounts-congressional-bid-diversity-in-government-is-necessary/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">born Tim</a>, would be the first transgender-identifying person in Congress if elected. McBride was first elected to the Delaware Senate in 2020. He formerly worked on a political campaign for President Joe Biden’s late son, Beau.
“It’s clear that diversity in government is necessary for us to not just ensure we have a healthy democracy but also to truly deliver for people,” McBride <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/06/26/delaware-state-senator-sarah-mcbride-house-bid-00103609" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> The News Journal. 
In an <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/26/us/politics/sarah-mcbride-transgender-congress.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> with the New York Times, McBride said that state laws banning sex change procedures on minors were &#8220;wrong and unconstitutional&#8221; and &#8220;an attempt by MAGA Republicans to distract from the fact that they have absolutely no agenda for families and for workers in our country.&#8221;
During his time in the Senate, McBride has spoken out against a proposal that would have barred males from competing in women’s sports. 
“Let’s be clear, this legislation is part of a national strategy to ban trans kids from affirming health care, ban certain books, forbid discussion, and to rip trans kids away from supportive parents – policies that try to delay and delay and delay trans kids from living authentically,” McBride <a href="https://www.hrc.org/press-releases/icymi-watch-delaware-state-senator-transgender-activist-sarah-mcbride-defend-trans-youth-against-anti-trans-sports-ban-in-committee-she-chairs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in March 2022. 
Prior to the 2020 Delaware Senate election, McBride interned for the Obama administration, worked as national press secretary for the far-Left Human Rights Campaign, and spoke at the 2016 Democrat National Convention. 
McBride appears closely connected to the Bidens, who call Delaware home. When President Biden&#8217;s son, Beau, ran for state attorney general, McBride worked on his campaign. Joe Biden wrote the forward to McBride&#8217;s 2018 memoir, &#8220;Tomorrow Will Be Different: Love, Loss, and the Fight for Trans Equality.” 
“She was honest and heartfelt. Even at that young age, she was a leader. Not because she thought she was better than anyone else, but because she treated everyone as equals. She was a Biden even then,” Biden <a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Tomorrow_Will_Be_Different/xY4nDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> in the forward. 
McBride has already taken shots at Republicans, flashing pictures of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), and Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) when discussing politicians “who want to divide us” in the campaign&#8217;s first video ad.
In a Tuesday <a href="https://twitter.com/SarahEMcBride/status/1673858846006059008?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweet</a>, McBride criticized “MAGA extremists” emphasizing “culture wars” while promising to focus on “reproductive rights,” “gun safety,” and “affordable child care.” 
Delaware has just one seat in Congress, which has been occupied by a Democrat since 2011. Last week, four-term Rep. Lisa Rochester (D-DE) announced that she would be leaving the House to run for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by outgoing Sen. Tom Carper (D-DE). 
McBride announced just days later, earning the endorsements of Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings and a host of state Democrats, including Senate Majority Leader Bryan Townsend and Senate President Pro Tempore Dave Sokola.

Delaware&#8217;s sole representative in the House is <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/06/21/lisa-blunt-rochester-senate-delaware-00102842">running</a> to replace retiring Democratic Sen. Tom Carper in 2024.  Considering her name recognition and Delaware&#8217;s Democratic lean, as well as a lengthy list of key endorsements, she is considered the <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/06/01/lisa-blunt-rochester-delaware-senate-seat-00099778">frontrunner</a> in the race. 
Her campaign launch video begins with a shot of a Hammond organ and the sound of a gospel piano as Blunt Rochester talks about “bright hope,” an ode to Bright Hope Baptist Church and the faith that guides her, before voicing her commitment to “protect our seniors, our environment, our small businesses, and women’s reproductive rights.”

The Democrat then turned to January 6, calling it her “worst day,” a few seconds after she described the tragic death of her husband.

Despite Blunt Rochester’s strong showing of Christian faith and her claims in her launch video, the Delaware Representative has supported a slew of bills in Congress that critics say conflict with — and even target — the people of faith. 
Blunt Rochester is a strong supporter of abortion. She recently <a href="https://twitter.com/LisaBRochester/status/1669430476040294408">described</a> the procedure as “health care,” vowing to “never stop fighting until abortion is codified into federal law nationwide.” In 2022, she <a href="https://bluntrochester.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=2880">voted</a> for The Women’s Health Protection Act, which would codify Roe v. Wade into federal law.

She also <a href="https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/117-2021/h39">voted</a> for the Equality Act, which extends the same protections that apply to race and religion to LGBTQ Americans. This act is often criticized as a potential bludgeon against people of faith, especially since it contains no provisions for churches or religious organizations. 
The bill would <a href="https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/116/hr5/text">allow</a> the Department of Justice to sue anyone in federal court who discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. It also guarantees that those who claim to be the opposite sex can use the bathroom of the gender with which they identify.
