Entire IRS investigative team removed from Hunter Biden case

The IRS has removed the entire investigative team in the Hunter Biden tax evasion investigation.

“Today the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Criminal Supervisory Special Agent we represent was informed that he and his entire investigative team are being removed from the ongoing and sensitive investigation of the high-profile, controversial subject about which our client sought to make whistleblower disclosures to Congress,” attorneys Tristan Leavitt and Mark Lytle of Empower Oversight and Nixon Peabody LLP, respectively, wrote in a letter to Congress obtained by the Washington Examiner.

The removal order came from the Department of Justice, according to the letter, which also called the move “clearly retaliatory.”

“Any attempt by any government official to prevent a federal employee from furnishing information to Congress is also a direct violation of longstanding appropriations restriction. Furthermore, 18 U.S.C. § 1505 makes it a crime to obstruct an investigation of Congress,” the letter read.
