Career IRS Criminal Investigator Blows Whistle, Says Biden Admin 'Intentionally Mishandling' Probe Into Hunter Biden: Report

An IRS criminal investigator is requesting that Congress give him whistleblower status after claiming that the Biden administration is deliberately mishandling the Hunter Biden investigation, eliciting strong responses from Twitter users and Republican figures, Fox News reports.

Fox News has confirmed that attorney Mark D. Lytle wrote a letter on behalf of his client, an IRS criminal supervisory agent, seeking whistleblower privileges. The letter stated that the agent had made legally protected disclosures at the IRS, which “contradict sworn testimony to Congress by a senior political appointee.”

“My goal is to ensure that my client can properly share his lawfully protected disclosures with congressional committees,” Lytle wrote. “Thus, I respectfully request that your committees work with me to facilitate sharing this information with Congress legally and with the fully informed advice of counsel.”

The news of the whistleblower’s allegations has quickly spread on social media, with many users considering the potential political implications of Hunter Biden’s connection to his father and whether the mainstream media will cover the story.

Radio host Mark Simone wrote: “Major breaking news – a whistleblower exposes a deep cover up in the Hunter Biden investigation and involvement of Merrick Garland in it and, of course, corrupt Lester Holt doesn’t even mention it on the evening news.”

Former Homeland Security Under Director Michael D. Brown added: “Read this.  Every civil servant who has this kind of information, is willing to come forth should be afforded every protection available under the law. Congress has a duty to hear the information and consider it in whatever or any investigation they are or may pursue.”

“They cover up Hunter Biden’s many real crimes. And they indict President Trump over fake crimes. Are you watching? The left is so hell-bent on winning that they’re eroding the rule of law and trying to turn us into a banana republic,” former Missouri attorney general candidate Will Scharf wrote on the platform.

“If a whistleblower has information on a Democrat, does it even count?” conservative account Fusilli Spock quipped.

Podcaster and former Fox News host Monica Crowley noted: “The entire System is protecting Joe, Hunter and the rest of these Biden slimeballs. It’s corrupt to Hell and back.”

Republican politicians have joined in the call for an investigation into Hunter Biden and the Biden administration’s alleged connection to questionable activities.

“The Biden Admin may be obstructing justice by blocking efforts to charge Hunter Biden for tax violations. We know Hunter Biden engaged in deceptive business schemes. @GOPoversight will hold accountable anyone in the Admin who may be covering up this criminal activity,” Rep. James Comer of Kentucky wrote.

“The coverup of Biden family corruption has been going strong for years,” Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., tweeted.

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), who has been on the Biden family trail for years, agreed: “IRS whistleblower claims @IRSnews is ‘improperly handling the criminal investigation’ into Hunter Biden and alleges ‘preferential treatment?’ I’m shocked. Kudos to the whistleblower, I hope more come forward so the truth can be exposed. It’s past time for a Special Counsel.”
