A whistle-blower said the tax agency found a message from 2017 in which Hunter Biden pressured a Chinese business partner by saying he was with his father, who was then out of office.
The lead I.R.S. agent investigating whether Hunter Biden committed tax crimes told Congress his team uncovered evidence that Mr. Biden had invoked his father, who was then out of office, while pressing a potential Chinese business partner in 2017 to move ahead with a proposed energy deal, House Republicans said.
In testimony made public on Thursday, Gary Shapley, an I.R.S. agent since 2009 who supervised the tax agency’s investigation into Hunter Biden, said his team used a search warrant to obtain a July 30, 2017, WhatsApp message from Mr. Biden to Henry Zhao, a Chinese businessman.
In the message, provided to the House Ways and Means Committee by Mr. Shapley, Mr. Biden told Mr. Zhao that he was sitting with his father and that “we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled.”
“Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight,” Mr. Biden wrote, referring to other participants in the proposed deal. “And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction.”
Taken at face value, the message would undercut President Biden’s longstanding claims that he had nothing to do with his son’s international business deals.

The last paragraph:
“without having a complete investigation.”
New York Times has comedians for journalists.
Having a complete investigation gives Dims, reporters, Left Congress critters time to CREATE AND AGREE UPON THE REAL, hee hee, story.
.
If you give them five more years, maybe they can write a complete report!
.
At this point the Democrats and the professional ruling elites know they can do whatever they want.
The way we didn’t resist during Covid and have no issues with the Chase Sixer is being incarcerated without trials has shown them that all we will do is tweet about it.
It’s convoluted and poorly written... I’m guessing mose people stop reading it about the third paragraph. The Times is checking off a box... this is NOT a serious effort to explain what’s happening.
