WASHINGTON — A House committee is expected to decide Thursday morning whether to release transcripts of testimony from two IRS whistleblowers who accused the Justice Department of a cover-up in the Hunter Biden tax fraud investigation.
Delaware US Attorney David Weiss announced Tuesday that the first son, 53, had agreed to cop to two tax-crime misdemeanors plus a felony gun charge that can be expunged after two years.
Hunter Biden is expected to receive probation, despite prison sentences in similar cases.
The House Ways and Means Committee will meet at 8 a.m. Thursday to discuss closed-door depositions by the whistleblowers amid outrage from Republicans and lawyers whose clients were treated more harshly for similar conduct.
“If the federal government is not treating all taxpayers equally, Congress has a duty to hold agencies accountable by providing transparency and bringing new facts to light,” the committee’s Republican majority said in a statement.
“That is why during Thursday’s session we will follow where the facts lead and will release the appropriate details afterward. The balance of justice must not be skewed in favor of the wealthy and the politically connected.”
