Hunter Biden abruptly drops lawsuit against IRS whistleblowers

Hunter Biden is raising eyebrows with a move IRS whistleblowers are calling more than suspicious.

Without any known provocation, Hunter Biden dropped a lawsuit against two former IRS officials who alleged the DOJ under Joe Biden was engaged in a cover-up to stonewall tax fraud allegations against him.

Hunter launched a lawsuit in response in 2023, claiming Gary Shapley and Joe Ziegler had “targeted and sought to embarrass Mr. Biden via public statements to the media in which they and their representatives disclosed confidential information about a private citizen’s tax matters.”

The 55-year-old Biden has seemingly changed his tune, abruptly dropping the lawsuit on Wednesday. It was a move the whistleblowers claim is telling.

“It’s always been clear that the lawsuit was an attempt to intimidate us,” the two men said in a statement. “Intimidation and retaliation were never going to work. We truly wanted our day in court to provide the complete story, but it appears Mr. Biden was afraid to actually fight this case in a court of law after all.”

“His voluntary dismissal of the case tells you everything you need to know about who was right and who was wrong.”

The dismissal follows four attorneys on the lawsuit filing to withdraw as Hunter’s counsel, the New York Post noted.

The Republican House Oversight Committee had the whistleblowers testify in 2023:

Joseph Zigler also spoke to Catherine Herridge over the danming allegations:

“Hunter Biden brought this lawsuit against two honorable federal agents in retaliation for blowing the whistle on the preferential treatment he was given,” Shapley and Ziegler’s lawyers said in a statement following the dismissals.

“Shapley and Ziegler did nothing wrong, never had to seek a pardon, and their actions have now been entirely vindicated once again.”
