The House Ways and Means Committee huddled behind closed doors on Tuesday in a daylong session that ended with it publicly releasing additional documents as part of its probe into the investigation of Hunter Biden’s taxes.
Two IRS agents who have provided testimony to the panel sat down with lawmakers in a rare, shuttered hearing because they were set to discuss private taxpayer information. Ways and Means then voted 40-0, to make public a transcript of that hearing and documents provided by the agents.
The efforts by GOP members of the tax-writing committee to air out Hunter Biden’s business dealings, some of which have run afoul of the IRS, are part of leadership’s efforts to lay the groundwork for possible impeachment of President Joe Biden.
