Gary Shapley, a 14-year IRS
agent, said he immediately saw deviations in Hunter's tax probe
investigation when he was assigned the case in January 2020. He became
concerned that prosecutors were mishandling the 'controversial' case and
felt bound to blow the whistle due to his oath of office
The investigation is looking into potential outstanding tax debt for
Hunter's stint as a board member of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company,
while his father was VP, as well as a possible false statement for a
gun purchase
Gary Shapley, a 14-year IRS agent, said he immediately saw deviations in
Hunter's tax probe investigation when he was assigned the case in
January 2020.
'When I saw the egregiousness of some of these things, it
no longer became a choice for me. It's not something that I want to do,'
he said.
Shapley blew the whistle three years after the investigation
has started, which is being lead by Trump-appointed US Attorney in
Delaware, David Weiss.
The investigation is looking into potential
outstanding tax debt for Hunter's stint as a board member of Burisma, a
Ukrainian energy company, while his father was VP, as well as, a
possible false statement for a gun purchase.
He also claimed to have
faced retaliation from IRS leadership after speaking out and Hunter's
team has accused him of breaking the law.
