Ex-FBI Agent Confirms Hunter Biden’s Whistleblower’s Testimony

A former FBI agent has confirmed the testimony of an IRS whistleblower, who alleged that the Justice Department tipped off the Biden transition team about a planned interview with Hunter Biden.

The former agent, IRS supervisory special agent Gary Shapley, was interviewed by the House Oversight Committee and said that he and another agent were planning to interview Hunter Biden in December 2020, but were told the night before that the Biden transition team had been tipped off.

The ex-agent backed up allegations made by Shapley that President Joe Biden’s transition team was tipped off about the FBI’s intent to interview Hunter.

“I was refreshed by the testimony of supervisor No. 2, and I believe he’s correct. I believe I – you know, and now getting into the frame of mind, I know I was upset when I learned about it,” the agent told lawmakers.

When he was asked why he had been upset, the former agent clarified: “I felt it was people that did not need to know about our intent.” The former agent was not able to recall who specifically was told on the Biden transition team.

The former agent said that he and Shapley were later instructed to wait for a phone call from Hunter Biden to conduct the interview, but that phone call never came and the interview never happened.

Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, the lead case agent on the Hunter Biden case and a 13-year veteran of the IRS, testified about their concerns to the House Oversight Committee in July.

“I have witnessed the corrosion of ethical standards and the abuse of power that threaten our nation. It is within this context that I have chosen to shed light on these actions and expose those responsible. I recognize that while I was present at the start of this investigation and was closely involved with the investigation for roughly five years —  that I am just a part of the story,” Ziegler testified at the time. “My aim is to address systemic problems that have allowed misconduct to flourish. It is not a call for blame but a call for accountability and reform.”
