Biden Transition Team Was Tipped Off the Night Before Planned FBI Interview with Hunter, Whistleblower Testifies

James Comer, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said that a former FBI supervisory agent confirmed the key points of previous testimony by two IRS whistleblowers about the DOJ’s, FBI’s and IRS’s alleged involvement in the Hunter Biden Tax Probe.

In a transcripted interview conducted on Monday, the special agent who worked at the FBI field office in Wilmington told the committee staff that the Secret Service HQ and the Biden Transition Team were informed the night before Hunter Biden’s scheduled interview.

The committee stated that “this was not the initial plan of the career agents which frustrated their investigation efforts because people who didn’t have to know found out.”

The IRS supervisory agent Gary Shapley who had previously come forward as a whistleblower and the former FBI special agent supervisor were assigned to interview Biden’s younger brother.

We want you to meet “Jacob.” He’s part of an elite commando unit fighting to protect Israelis from Iran-backed terrorists. First, he wants to say, “Thank you!” Second, he has asked for additional bulletproof vests for his unit as they fight to keep Israel safe. Will you join the Genesis 123 Foundation to get these soldiers the supplies they need in the next 24 hours?

FBI agent informed House Oversight that on December 8, 2020 – the day of the meeting – the agent and Shapley had been told they couldn’t approach Hunter Biden’s house. They would need to wait until the younger Biden called them. Former FBI special agent and supervisor said that he never received instructions to conduct an interview in this manner.

The committee stated that “as a consequence of these actions Shapley and former FBI Supervisory Special Agent never interviewed Hunter Biden”.

Comer stated in a press release that “the Justice Department’s attempts to cover up the Bidens reveal a two-tiered justice system which sickens Americans.” The Oversight Committee will, together with the Judiciary Committee and Ways and Means Committee continue to search for the answers, transparency and accountability the American people deserve.

The two IRS whistleblowers will testify on Wednesday at an Oversight Committee Hearing about the DOJ’s, FBI’s and IRS’s alleged interference with the Hunter Biden Tax Probe.

Shapley and another unnamed whistleblower had previously given testimony behind closed doors to the House Ways and Means Committee. The committee announced that the two will now share “critical” information related to the investigation of the younger Biden.

Last month, the DOJ announced that Biden had agreed to plead guilty for two tax misdemeanors relating to his failure in 2017 to pay his taxes. He will also sign a probation contract that will let him avoid jail for having a handgun intoxicated while in 2018.

The gun charge was centered around the younger Biden admitting in his autobiography that, at the time of purchasing a handgun in 2018, he used crack almost every 15 minutes despite having claimed on a federal background investigation that he did not use illicit drugs.

The two IRS agents testified to the committee that they had pushed for charges of felony against the son of the president in the tax investigation. They also said that Delaware U.S. attorney David Weiss tried to file charges against Biden last year in Southern California and the District of Columbia but was denied both times by DOJ officials.

Weiss denied this claim in a written letter to Lindsey Graham, the top Republican of the Senate Judiciary Committee. He said he “never was denied the authority to file charges in any jurisdiction.”

Shapley said investigators wanted to search the Bidens’ Delaware residence because the younger Biden spent a lot of time there. Shapley claimed that assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf warned investigators not to perform such an investigation because of the optics, even though they believed there was a good chance of finding a lot evidence.

Shapley stated that Wolf informed the lawyers of the younger Biden that investigators would have probable cause to search the storage unit in North Virginia, an alert that would allow him to remove evidence before the search.
