Whistleblower details loss of promotion, canceling of special project and ouster from Biden case.

But all that, he says, came crashing down after he and a fellow agent blew the whistle last October on what they saw as political tampering from the DOJ in a tax evasion case against first son Hunter Biden.
"The actions taken by my leadership right now could be nothing but retaliation," Shapley told Just the News in an exclusive interview on the John Solomon Reports podcast. "They know what prohibited personnel practices are, and they know how to how to try to engage in retaliatory activities that somehow you obfuscate that piece, whether it's a prohibited personnel practice."
In the interview plus earlier testimony to the House Ways and Means Committee made public last week, Shapley detailed a series of actions he viewed as retaliatory from the DOJ removing he and his entire team from the Biden case to being passed over for a promotion and seeing his special tax recovery project paused and then canceled.
During a House Ways and Means Committee hearing on April 27, IRS Commissioner Werfel was asked if he could commit to not taking retaliatory actions against whistleblowers.

Shapley argued that he's been retaliated against since October 2022.
