Former federal prosecutor named by IRS whistleblowers out at DOJ: report

Former Assistant U.S. Attorney for Delaware Lesley Wolf has reportedly left the Department of Justice, according to Fox News, which cited a "source familiar with the situation."

The ex-federal prosecutor stood accused by IRS whistleblowers of limiting the avenues of investigation into the Hunter Biden tax case. Her departure was reportedly the product of longstanding plans. 

Reports of her departure emerged the same day that she sat for a transcribed interview with the House Judiciary Committee. Committee Chairman Jim Jordan in November served her with a subpoena demanding her testimony.

"Witness testimony and public reporting indicates that as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Delaware, you were directly involved in that office’s investigation of Hunter Biden, which deviated from standard investigative procedures," he wrote in summoning her.

IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler came forward earlier this year alleging a litany of irregularities in the case, including that Biden-appointed DOJ officials worked to stifle the worst of the charges against the first son. They specifically highlighted Wolf's repeated limiting of their lines of inquiry and investigative efforts.
