Whistleblowers have emerged over the last several years to accuse the Biden administration of mishandling the federal investigation into Hunter Biden, politicizing federal law enforcement agencies and shielding evidence related to a "criminal scheme" Joe Biden allegedly engaged in as vice president.
Whistleblower protections are enshrined in federal statute, and federal law protects these disclosures.
The protocol is for a whistleblower to first go to an immediate supervisor or the supervisor in charge with the issue at hand.
If the whistleblower believes that reaching out to a supervisor could jeopardize his or her well-being or that supervisor is implicated in any potential misconduct, the whistleblower can go directly to the inspector general of the agency. From there, the inspector general can communicate with Congress when appropriate.

This whistleblower reached those committees through his attorney, Mark Lytle.
The whistleblower also made protected disclosures internally at the IRS, to the inspector general for tax administration at the Treasury Department and to the Justice Department inspector general.
