Hunter Biden agreed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/biden-speak-publicly-first-time-since-son-hunters-plea-deal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">plead guilty<\/a> to a pair of tax-related misdemeanor charges, but the whistleblowers claimed that it came after the Department of Justice &#8220;provided preferential treatment, slow-walked the investigation, did nothing to avoid obvious conflicts of interest in this investigation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>House Ways &amp; Means Committee Chair Jason Smith, R-Mo., said Republicans acted &#8220;in good faith&#8221; while accusing Democrats of &#8220;side-stepping&#8221; the two whistleblowers\u2019 testimonies.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Democrats will come to regret their vote as more facts in this investigation come to light and are judged in the court of public opinion. The scales of Justice\u00a0cannot\u00a0be skewed in favor of the wealthy and the politically connected,&#8221; Smith told Fox News Digital on Friday.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/fbi-biden-bribery-doc-irs-investigators-whistleblower-claims-influenced-politics\"><strong><u>FBI BIDEN BRIBERY DOC NEVER MADE IT TO IRS INVESTIGATORS, WHISTLEBLOWER CLAIMS: &#8216;INFLUENCED BY POLITICS&#8217;<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>His committee, which fielded the testimony, voted to make the nearly 400 pages public in a 25-18 party line vote.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;During our\u00a0committee meeting, Democrats\u00a0sidestepped the\u00a0whistleblowers\u2019 damning testimony about misconduct and special treatment in the investigation into Hunter Biden\u2019s alleged tax crimes,&#8221; Smith said. &#8220;Throughout the process, Republicans acted in good faith, sharing information and\u00a0making Democrats equal participants in the\u00a0whistleblower interviews.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Kevin Hern, R-Okla., a member of the panel, told Fox News Digital on Friday that his Democratic counterparts\u2019 &#8220;no&#8221; votes amounted to &#8220;covering&#8221; for Hunter Biden.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/doj-fbi-irs-interfered-hunter-biden-probe-according-whistleblower-testimony\"><strong><u>DOJ, FBI, IRS INTERFERED WITH HUNTER BIDEN PROBE, ACCORDING TO WHISTLEBLOWER TESTIMONY RELEASED BY GOP<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The evidence presented to committee members couldn\u2019t have been more clear. The Biden administration weaponized the federal government to protect the president\u2019s son from the consequences of his illegal actions,&#8221; Hern said. &#8220;It\u2019s hard to believe anyone would vote to participate in covering up those crimes, but that\u2019s exactly what every Democrat member of the committee did.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Richard Neal, D-Mass., the top Democrat on the committee, said after the vote that his party objected to the GOP\u2019s &#8220;process&#8221; rather than public disclosures.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/hunter-biden-investigators-limited-questions-dad-big-guy-despite-fbi-irs-objections-whistleblower\"><strong><u>HUNTER BIDEN INVESTIGATORS LIMITED QUESTIONS ABOUT &#8216;DAD,&#8217; &#8216;BIG GUY&#8217; DESPITE FBI, IRS OBJECTIONS: WHISTLEBLOWER<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Clearly the case is not ready. So many witnesses were never even contacted. They never discerned a clear legislative purpose in the discussion,&#8221; Neal told reporters after the closed-door meeting to discuss the documents\u2019 release, according to Roll Call.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He chaired the committee last year when it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/house-ways-means-committee-release-donald-trumps-tax-returns-friday\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">voted to release<\/a> former President Trump\u2019s tax returns. That vote likewise fell along party lines, with only Democrats in favor.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats also reportedly complained that the testimonies named 50 government employees who were not interviewed.<\/p>\n<p>White House spokesperson Ian Sams said of the IRS whistleblowers&#8217; allegations, &#8220;Since he took office and consistent with his campaign promise that he would restore the independence of the Justice Department when it comes to decision-making in criminal investigations, President Biden has made clear that this matter would be handled independently by the Justice Department, under the leadership of a U.S. Attorney appointed by former President Trump, free from any political interference by the White House. He has upheld that commitment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/democrats-tried-keep-hunter-biden-irs-whistleblower-testimony-secret\">Source &#8211; https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/democrats-tried-keep-hunter-biden-irs-whistleblower-testimony-secret <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every House Democrat on the committee that released whistleblower testimony about the Hunter Biden tax probe on Thursday voted to keep that information hidden from [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"twitter_2902945987_2902945987":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","footnotes":""},"categories":[16563],"tags":[],"stock_ticker":[],"class_list":["post-71556","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-market-news","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
