IRS whistleblowers to turn over more evidence to Congress corroborating their story

The IRS whistleblowers who rocked Capitol Hill earlier this week with their account of political interference in the Hunter Biden criminal tax investigation plan to provide Congress with additional documentation that substantiates their allegations, one of their lawyers told Just the News.

Tristan Leavitt, the president of the Empower Oversight whistleblower center who represents IRS supervisory agent Gary Shapley, said Thursday evening that his client and fellow whistleblower Joseph Ziegler were preparing to produce the documents to the House Ways and Means Committee in the coming weeks.

“We're assembling that from Gary. I also believe Mr. Ziegler, you know, made clear in the hearing that he has a lot of documents that he is ready to share with the Ways and Means Committee,” Leavitt told the Just the News, No Noise television show. “And so, you know, it will take some time for the Ways and Means Committee to review that.

“They would have to have a vote again to consider releasing it just like they did with the transcripts. So it could be some some time, potentially weeks before any of that information would be released. But there's a lot of information that further corroborates what these IRS whistleblowers have said,” he said.

Leavitt also reacted to the news Thursday of the release of an FBI informant document that alleged a bribery scheme in which the Biden family was paid $10 million in return for helping the Ukrainian company Burisma Holdings to get out of a corruption scandal.

He confirmed his client did not have access to the document, even though he was investigating the Biden family.

“It's quite remarkable,” Leavitt said of the document released by Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa. “Obviously, we don't know whether it's, you know, whether it's authentic in terms of the allegations. But that's why you investigate.

“And of course, as Gary's affidavit to the Ways and Means Committee made clear, this is exactly the sort of thing that they would have been the ones to investigate and should have been able to investigate,” he said.

Asked whether his client has ever given access to document by the FBI during the investigation, Leavitt said: “They had no idea. This was the first time they learned about it was in the public news.”
