BREAKING: Second IRS Whistleblower Comes Forward After Purge Of Investigative Team From Hunter Biden Probe

The existence of a second IRS whistleblower in the criminal investigation of Hunter Biden was revealed Monday in a series of documents sent to Congress, according to a report from the Washington Examiner. The existence of a second whistleblower comes just over a week after the IRS removed the entire investigative team from its years-long probe into the president’s troubled son.

A 13-year veteran for the agency, the new whistleblower is a special agent in the IRS’s international tax and financial crimes group. He had worked on the Hunter Biden probe since it was opened in 2018 until his unexpected dismissal last week.

In an email Thursday to seven senior IRS officials, including Commissioner Daniel Werfel, the new whistleblower stated his belief that he was removed for doing the “right thing.”

“As I’m sure you were aware, I was removed this week from a highly sensitive case … after nearly 5 years of work. I was not afforded the opportunity of a phone call directly from my [Special Agent in Charge] or [Assistant Special Agent in Charge], even though this had been my investigation since the start,” the new whistleblower wrote.

“I … have spent thousands of hours on the case, worked to complete 95% of the investigation, have sacrificed sleep/vacations/gray hairs etc., my husband and I (identifying me as the case agent) were publicly outed and ridiculed on social media due to our sexual orientation, and to ultimately be removed for always trying to do the right thing, is unacceptable in my opinion,” he added.

The second whistleblower did not receive a response to his email from the IRS commissioner, whose spokespeople said last week that he will not retaliate against legally protected internal disclosures. A high-level official from the agency’s D.C. field office reprimanded the agent and said they could have committed a crime, however.

“You have been told several times that you need to follow your chain of command. IRS-CI maintains a chain of command for numerous reasons to include trying to stop unauthorized disclosures,” wrote IRS assistant special agent Lola Watson on Friday. “Your email yesterday may have included potential grand jury (aka 6e material) in the subject line and contents of the email, and you included recipients that are not on the 6e list.”

The agent’s allegations come a little over a month after an IRS supervisor accused the Justice Department of “acting inappropriately” in their handling of the case. The supervisor — who oversaw the case since January 2020 — further alleged “preferential treatment” for Biden and false testimony to Congress from Attorney General Merrick Garland.

That whistleblower is expected to testify behind closed doors before the House Ways and Means Committee on Friday.

Both IRS whistleblowers have reportedly expressed concerns over the handling of the case internally. Additionally, they have laid out extensive claims of retaliation in new disclosures to Congress, the New York Post reported.

In a letter to Werfel on Monday, attorneys for the first whistleblower expressed concern over “reprisals” that are “unacceptable and contrary to the law.”

Attorneys Mark Lytle and Tristian Leavitt, who represent the first whistleblower, wrote that the agent “had a right to expect that his email would be taken seriously, considered, and addressed professionally without retribution, as the law requires.”

“Instead, the IRS responded with accusations of criminal conduct and warnings to other agents in an apparent attempt to intimidate into silence anyone who might raise similar concerns,” wrote Lytle and Leavitt.

Neither IRS whistleblower has publicly confirmed that Hunter Biden is the subject of the investigation they have referenced, though Congressional sources have.
