Press Release

“Today Hunter Biden pled guilty to nine criminal tax charges, including three felonies, but on May 15, 2023, one of David Weiss’s prosecutors offered Hunter Biden a deferred prosecution agreement that didn’t require even a single guilty plea. That was the same day the IRS retaliated against SSA Gary Shapley by removing his entire team from the case in reprisal for protected whistleblowing about exactly that kind of special treatment. Shapley risked his career for the principle of equal treatment under the law, and now that principle has been vindicated.”
