WASHINGTON—Hunter Biden received “preferential treatment” from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), in part at the behest of President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ), whistleblowers from the agency have told the Ways and Means Committee.
In a party-line 25–18 vote, the panel voted to release transcripts of IRS whistleblower testimony relating to the allegations, which Chairman Jason Smith (R-Mo.) discussed following the closed-door hearing on the whistleblower testimony. Every Democrat on the committee voted against making the transcripts public.
