IRS removes investigative team from Hunter Biden probe in move whistleblower calls ‘clearly retaliatory’


WASHINGTON — The IRS on Monday removed the “entire investigative team” from its long-running tax fraud probe of first son Hunter Biden in alleged retaliation against the whistleblower who recently contacted Congress to allege a cover-up in the case, The Post has learned.

The purge allegedly was done on the orders of the Justice Department, the whistleblower’s attorneys informed congressional leaders in a letter.

“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. He was informed the change was at the request of the Department of Justice,” Mark Lytle and Tristan Leavitt wrote.

The whistleblower, who supervised the Hunter Biden probe since early 2020, hasn’t publicly identified the first son as the subject of the case that he says is being brushed under the rug, but congressional sources confirmed it.

“On April 27, 2023, IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel appeared before the House Committee on Ways and Means. He testified: ‘I can say without any hesitation there will be no retaliation for anyone making an allegation or a call to a whistleblower hotline.’ However, this move is clearly retaliatory and may also constitute obstruction of a congressional inquiry,” the lawyers went on.

“Our client has a right to make disclosures to Congress … He is protected by 5 U.S.C. § 2302 from retaliatory personnel actions — including receiving a ‘significant change in duties, responsibilities, or working conditions’ (which this clearly is) because of his disclosures to Congress.

“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,” Lytle and Leavitt wrote.

The whistleblower’s team added: “We respectfully request that you give this matter your prompt attention. Removing the experienced investigators who have worked this case for years and are now the subject-matter experts is exactly the sort of issue our client intended to blow the whistle on to...

Durham Report: FBI Proposed Paying Russia-Collusion Hoaxer Igor Danchenko To Silence Him After Learning He Lied


Special Counsel John Durham confirmed in a 306-page report released on Monday that Crossfire Hurricane investigators at the FBI hoped to keep sending Russian national and Steele dossier primary sub-source Igor Danchenko six-figure payments even after they learned he had lied to them.


The FBI brought Danchenko on as an official confidential human source (CHS) in March 2017 after he spent months working with Christopher Steele to fabricate dirt on 2016 presidential candidate Donald Trump for the Clinton campaign.

Despite the fact that Danchenko was at the center of an FBI counterintelligence investigation from 2009 to 2011, “had previous contact with the Russian Embassy and known Russian intelligence officers,” and “had also informed one Russian intelligence officer that he had interest in entering the Russian diplomatic service,” Danchenko was paid $220,000 to aid the agency as a CHS until October 2020.

While Danchenko was a CHS, he was not subject to congressional oversight due to policies regarding ongoing investigation and sources and methods. It was after Danchenko left the immunity of the FBI’s “national security” excuses that the spy agency began to worry about Durham’s investigation into the Russia-collusion hoax, which the special counsel found “neither U.S. law enforcement nor the Intelligence Community appears to have possessed any actual evidence of.”

In an apparent bid to buy Danchenko’s silence and avoid further scrutiny for its “flawed” decision to spy on the Trump campaign without corroborated evidence, the FBI proposed keeping Danchenko on the payroll with payments totaling $300,000 while Durham’s investigation was ongoing.

In 2021, Durham charged Danchenko with five counts of making false statements to the FBI. Despite hard evidence showing how Danchenko gamed the system, a Virginia jury acquitted him.

“It is extremely concerning that the FBI failed to deal with the prior unresolved counterespionage case on Danchenko. Given Danchenko’s known contacts with Russian intelligence officers and his documented prior pitch for classified information, the Crossfire Hurricane team’s failure to properly consider and address the espionage case prior to...
