Topic: Gary Shapley

Chairman James Comer and the House Oversight Committee link the new charges against Hunter Biden to testimony provided by IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler. Republicans argue the indictment confirms the necessity of an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden's potential involvement in foreign business ventures.

IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley testified that the investigation into Hunter Biden was stymied by political interference from the Department of Justice. Shapley alleged that U.S. Attorney David Weiss was blocked from bringing charges in D.C. by Biden-appointed U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves. He further claimed that defense counsel was tipped off about a planned search of a storage unit, ruining the opportunity to seize evidence.
