The House of Representatives said Monday that they would be getting involved, because Congress is “considerably interested in whistleblowers who provide information to Congress about waste, fraud and abuse at federal agencies.”

The House of Representatives alerted United States District Court for District of Columbia on Monday night that it intends to file an amicus curiae brief in support of IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley & Joseph Ziegler.

The House announced that it would submit a “friends of the court brief” in support of the whistleblowers, if the IRS grants their request to dismiss Hunter Biden’s lawsuit against them, in which he claimed the whistleblowers had unlawfully revealed his personal tax data.

The House of Representatives said Monday that they would be getting involved, because Congress is “interested in whistleblowers who provide information to Congress about waste, fraud and abuse at federal agencies, as well as other misconduct.”

The House argued that the lawsuit brought by Biden would discourage other whistleblowers and harm its ability to oversee the executive branch.

The House stated that it will continue to monitor the case.
