On Wednesday, the two IRS whistleblowers whose testimony has been key in the House’s investigation into Hunter Biden will testify publicly for the first time before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee.
The two whistleblowers, supervisory agent Gary Shapley and an unnamed source known as “Whistleblower X,” who will be revealed tomorrow, are the IRS’s A-team, Oversight Chairman James Comer said.The anonymous whistleblower originally didn’t want his name out there, but he became “so upset over how the Democrats, including [ranking member] Jamie Raskin , and others have mischaracterized their integrity” that he decided to come forward with his identity.
The whistleblowers also provided evidence to the Ways and Means Committee, including text messages that show Biden invoking his father's name as a way to get a Chinese business associate to send him money. The messages resulted in millions being routed to Biden’s account. No new information is expected to be presented by the committee during this hearing. Rather, they will present the whistleblowers with the information they have already compiled, including the bank records, bank wires, and “mysterious accounts” and “see what the IRS whistleblowers think,” Comer said.
Biden not registering as a foreign agent came under more scrutiny from House Republicans after Gal Luft, whom Comer said was a “very credible witness on Biden family corruption,” got indicted for failure to register as a foreign agent during his time working for CEFC, the same company Biden was being paid by.
“As a result of the change in plans, IRS and FBI criminal investigators never got to interview Biden as part of the investigation," Comer said in a statement.
