(Daily Caller) Two Internal Revenue Service (IRS) whistleblowers are set to testify in front of Congress on Wednesday about the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) investigation into Hunter Biden as multiple questions remain unanswered.
IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley and another unnamed whistleblower will testify to the House Oversight Committee about allegations of malpractice by the DOJ in its investigation of the president’s son.

Did Merrick Garland lie under oath in his Congressional testimony about the Biden investigation?
Revelations from Shapley and the other whistleblower to the House Ways & Means Committee about the alleged conduct of U.S. Attorney David Weiss, the lead prosecutor in the Hunter Biden probe, slow-walking by other DOJ prosecutors and Attorney General Merrick Garland’s alleged interference in the investigation continue to be disputed by the Justice Department.

Is there more evidence U.S. Attorney David Weiss formally requested Special Counsel status?
Shapley’s testimony appeared to show that Garland lied under oath to Congress about political interference in the Biden investigation, an accusation Garland has denied. He also alleges that Garland denied Weiss the ability to invoke Special Counsel authority on multiple occasions, which Weiss denied in a letter to Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham.
“U.S. Attorney David Weiss’s story continues to change. As a practical matter, it makes no difference whether Weiss requested special counsel or special attorney authority. Under no circumstances should ‘the process’ have included the political appointees of the subject’s father, because Congress and the public had been assured it would not—but it did,” Shapley’s attorneys said in a public statement.
Did Weiss have authority to charge Biden in D.C. and California without Special Counsel status?
Weiss wrote in a late June letter to Republican Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan that his charging authority was limited to his Delaware district and said it was common DOJ practice to work with U.S. Attorneys’ offices in other districts in order to bring charges elsewhere. An October 2022 email released by Shapley’s attorneys showed Weiss did not have final authority on whether to charge Hunter Biden.
Shapley’s testimony alleges that the Biden-appointed U.S. Attorneys in the District of Columbia and the Central District of California blocked Weiss from charging Hunter Biden in their districts. His allegations about the U.S. Attorney in D.C. have not been confirmed and Shapley has not provided further evidence from the meetings he references in his prior testimony. The alleged obstruction by the U.S. Attorney from the Central District of California was independently confirmed by the New York Times.
