Whistleblowers have made allegations that the Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) interfered in the criminal investigation of Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden. The whistleblowers claim that they experienced delays, a lack of transparency, and threats from the Defense Council during the investigation. The testimony of the whistleblowers was recently released and details their allegations of a campaign to “delay, divulge, and deny” the investigation.
There is concern that the Department of Justice is not investigating a WhatsApp message that allegedly shows Hunter Biden threatening Henry Zhao, a Chinese businessman. In the message, Hunter Biden reportedly said that if payments were not made immediately, Joe Biden, who was present in the room, would “destroy” Zhao.
For example, we obtained a July 30th, 2017, WhatsApp message from Hunter Biden to Henry Zhao, where Hunter Biden wrote:
“I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight. And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.”
Communications like these made it clear we needed to search the guest house at the Bidens’ Delaware residence where Hunter Biden stayed for a time.
Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO) expressed his concerns about the federal investigators’ lenient treatment towards some Americans. He also claimed that in 2022 and 2023, U.S. Attorney of Delaware, David Weiss, attempted several times to press charges against Hunter Biden, but was unsuccessful. According to whistleblowers, Smith stated that the Department of Justice (DOJ) is intervening and overstepping in the investigation, despite clear evidence of tax liability on Hunter Biden’s payments.
IRS investigators reportedly found themselves “hamstrung internally”, facing “a lack of U.S. Attorney independence, recurring unjustified delays, unusual actions outside the normal course of any investigation, a lack of transparency across the investigation and prosecution teams, and bullying and threats from the Defense Council.” This constituted a campaign to “delay, divulge and deny.”
According to Smith, IRS investigators claim that U.S. Attorney Leslie Wolf informed them that a search warrant for evidence discovered in the guest house of former Vice President Biden would not be approved. Wolf supposedly stated unequivocally that a search warrant would not be authorized.
According to Smith, there was a leak of important information related to the investigation that was given to Hunter Biden’s attorneys. Specifically, when there was enough evidence to search a storage unit in Northern Virginia where Hunter Biden kept some files, his lawyers were notified ahead of time.
Whistleblowers have stated that the IRS investigators faced several obstacles within the organization while investigating a case for tax liability related to payments. They have claimed that despite a clear case, the investigation was hindered internally, and the U.S. Attorney’s independence was compromised. Additionally, the whistleblowers allege that certain actions were taken outside the usual investigation process.
