IRS whistleblower in Hunter Biden investigation removed from probe, his attorneys say
CBSN
An IRS whistleblower who claims the Justice Department interfered with the Hunter Biden criminal probe says "he and his entire investigative team are being removed" from the investigation, according to a letter sent Monday by his attorneys to Congress.
One of the attorneys, Mark Lytle, met May 5 with members of the House Ways and Means and Senate Finance Committees to discuss what the whistleblower could tell investigators and how he could do so without running afoul of taxpayer privacy laws. Lytle wrote in an April letter to Congress that the unnamed IRS criminal supervisory special agent could shed light on how the years-long, high-profile investigation had been hindered by "preferential treatment and politics."
