IRS Agent Joseph Ziegler, a Kirtland native, told the House Oversight and Accountability Committee that Hunter Biden got preferential treatment from federal law enforcement authorities. WASHINGTON, D. C.
Hunter Biden last month agreed to plead guilty to two tax misdemeanors and admit to possession of a firearm while “an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance.” “The fact that Hunter Biden faced a four-year criminal probe involving dozens of agents and prosecutors from the IRS, the FBI, the US Attorney’s Office in Delaware, and the DOJ, demonstrates to my mind, at the very least, that he received no special treatment, but arguably selectively tougher treatment than the millions of the people who never face criminal investigation for doing the same thing,” said Raskin.
The Republican chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Missouri’s Jason Smith, told the hearing that Ziegler and Shapley “are credible” and sat for nearly 15 hours of interviews with both Republicans and Democrats on his committee. “I recently discovered that people are saying that I must be more credible because I’m a Democrat who happens to be married to a man,” Ziegler told the committee. “The truth is, my credibility comes today from my job experience with the IRS and my intimate knowledge of the agency’s standards and procedures.”
