The House Oversight Committee announced on Wednesday that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) bowed to demands made by its chairman, Rep. James Comer, as well as his counterpart in the House Judiciary Committee, Jim Jordan, regarding disciplinary measures against an official they described as a whistleblower in an investigation on the son of President Joe Biden, Hunter.
The lawmakers sent a letter to the agency last week over procedures against IRS Supervisory Special Agent Gary Shapley and Special Agent Joseph Ziegler, whose "lawfully protected disclosures to Congress," they said, "have resulted in unrelenting personal and professional attacks by the IRS."
