(READ) IRS whistleblower's legal team responds to Hunter Biden's lawsuit against IRS

Supervisory Special Agent Gary Shapley’s legal team issued the following statement regarding the Hunter Biden lawsuit filed against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Read below:

“This suit against the IRS is just another frivolous smear by Biden family attorneys trying to turn people’s attention away from Hunter Biden’s own legal problems and intimidate any current and future whistleblowers. The federal judge in Delaware who oversaw the aborted plea deal shot down similar claims against the whistleblowers after they exposed the secret backroom deal between Hunter Biden and the Department of Justice.
Neither IRS SSA Gary Shapley nor his attorneys have ever released any confidential taxpayer information except through whistleblower disclosures authorized by statute. Once Congress released that testimony, like every American citizen, he has a right to discuss that public information.”
