The special agents at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) who blew the whistle on the Biden administration’s preferential treatment toward Hunter Biden during an investigation into the former First Son’s tax returns will be promoted to key leadership positions within the U.S. Department of Treasury. IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, whose bombshell testimony helped squash Hunter Biden’s sweetheart plea deal, are slated to start work this week as senior advisors for IRS reform to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s office.
On X, Bessent said Shapley and Ziegler will “help us drive much-needed cultural reform within the IRS.”
Bessent told the Fox Business show “Mornings with Maria” that after meeting with Shapley and Ziegler when they appeared as esteemed guests at President Donald Trump’s speech to a joint session of Congress, “I went and decided I would bring them into Treasury, give them a year to investigate the wrongdoing that’s going on at the IRS.”
