The chairman of the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee on Thursday indicated the powerful panel is reviewing claims from an alleged Internal Revenue Service (IRS) whistleblower who is voicing concerns about possible political interference that some lawmakers say relates to the probe targeting Hunter Biden.
“Last week, a whistleblower came forward with troubling claims about abuses of power,” Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (R-Mo.) told IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel during an oversight hearing on the agency. “We are conducting a review of this matter and will go wherever the facts lead us. I expect full cooperation from the IRS, particularly with regard to ensuring this whistleblower is protected from retaliation.”
