IRS whistleblower Joseph Ziegler accused the Department of Justice (DOJ) of obstructing the tax probe into Hunter Biden and called for the appointment of a special counsel to look into what he alleged were “deficient investigative steps and improper decisions.”
Mr. Ziegler, an IRS special agent, issued the call in an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal on July 27, a day after Mr. Biden entered a not guilty plea to tax and gun crimes in a Delaware courtroom after the presiding judge refused to accept a plea agreement that Republicans criticized as being too lenient.
