Republican House Committee leaders are now probing whether the U.S. Department of Justice and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) have taken part in an alleged effort to retaliate against IRS employees who raised concerns about misconduct by federal officials tasked with investigating President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden.

IRS Supervisory Special Agent Gary Shapley and Special Agent Joseph Ziegler both came forward last year with allegations federal investigators had slow-walked efforts to investigate the president’s son for a range of possible criminal offenses as a means of preferential treatment.
