An FBI official has contradicted a whistleblower who says the prosecutor investigating President Joe Biden’s son did not have authority to bring charges against Hunter Biden outside Delaware.

Gary Shapley, an IRS agent who became a whistleblower, made the allegation in notes after an Oct. 7, 2022, meeting with U.S. Attorney David Weiss, the prosecutor, and again in recent sworn testimony.
