The IRS agents who raised concerns about how the inquiry into Hunter Biden was proceeding were surprised by a congratulatory email from a supervisor after the first son pleaded guilty to a slew of federal tax charges last month, according to a report released Tuesday.
Journalist Catherine Herridge revealed the email and published video of an interview with IRS investigators Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, who last year emerged as whistleblowers alleging the probe had been slow-walked by top officials in a way that could have precluded charges.
“I just wanted to take a moment and thank you all for your efforts in the investigation and conviction on the Sportsman investigation,” said the email, a copy of which Herridge posted to X with the names of the sender and recipients other than Shapley and Ziegler redacted.
