The House Ways and Means Committee released bombshell new whistleblower testimony Thursday claiming that Hunter Biden failed to pay taxes on $8.3 million in income and the Department of Justice denied attempts to bring charges in other states.
The testimony revealed that U.S. Attorney David Weiss - the Trump-era holdover who prosecuted the case against Hunter Biden - allegedly asked for special counsel status and was denied by the Department of Justice.
Weiss also allegedly tried to bring charges against Hunter in Washington D.C. and California in the fall of 2022 and had that request denied in January 2023.
But Weiss said in a letter to lawmakers earlier this month the DOJ granted him 'ultimate authority' on when and where to bring charges.
It all amounted to conduct that longtime IRS investigator Gary Shapley said amounted to 'preferential treatment' for the president's son.
Attorney General Merrick Garland just Wednesday vouched for Weiss, saying he had given him 'full authority' to decide how to handle the situation. 'And that’s what he’s done,' Garland said.
The unverified testimony came from two IRS whistleblowers as news broke this week that Hunter Biden had agreed to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax offenses while dispensing with a gun charge against him, likely allowing him to avoid prison time.
Ways and Means Chair Jason Smith, R-Mo., revealed in a press conference that two IRS employees had claimed that the agency sought felony charges against Hunter Biden for attempting to evade taxes and making false statements.
According to Smith, the whistleblowers, one of whom the committee later identified as Shapley, said Hunter failed to pay $2.2 million in taxes on $8.3 million in income from foreign entities in Ukraine, China, and Romania.
His guilty plea this week only related to $1.5 million in unreported income.

We’re no longer a nation of laws. American royalty hath ascended.
They ARE invincible because there is WAY MORE EVIL people in this country than I ever imagined!!
It’s time.
Mobsters don’t pay taxes.
But if his last name was “Trump”, he’d have been jailed months or years ago.
The key element of all of this garbage is that we, the People, no longer have the means to vote these Jihadists (and that is exactly what they are) out of office. Dominion, COVID and the Demoncrats yanked that away from us. The GOP whimpers in the corner and some get their cut.
The Bidens are trailer trash. Nothing more, nothing less.
You can take them out of the trailer park, but you can’t take the trailer park out of them.
I know....:(
Good, I see some of the media comparing this to the Wesley Snipes case that he went to jail for.
Orwell was right. All animals are equal just some animals are more equal than others.
You’d almost think Washington, D.C. is riddled with corruption.
Almost . . .
I’d like to see some reporter ask FJB what he thinks Hunter’s “fare share” is of all this money.
Pretty sure that KJP would explain that the income wasn’t “earned income” and as such, Hunter wouldn’t have had to pay taxes as the same rate as us shlubs . . .
True dat.
Nobody messes with the Big Guy.
Rush would say on his radio show that he would tell his audience “when it’s time”.
If he were still alive, he would definitely tell us now, IT IS TIME!!!
Al Capone is spinning in his grave ……
Pretty sweet deal. Rob a bank, get to keep the money.
