Lawyers representing\u00a0Internal Revenue Service whistleblower Gary Shapley<\/a> sent a letter demanding The Washington Post set the record straight on allegedly “false and defamatory” statements made by Hunter Biden\u2019s legal team.<\/p>\n

Shapley\u2019s legal team sent a letter Monday to Post reporters Devlin Barrett and Perry Stein, asking them to clear Shapley\u2019s “good name” and confirm publicly that he was not their source for an October 2022 article<\/a> after Hunter\u2019s legal team complained about “illegal” leaks.<\/p>\n

“Biden family attorneys have falsely accused SSA Shapley of illegally leaking to you,” the letter read. “Shapley was not a source for you on that story, or any other story for that matter.”<\/p>\n

“It would be nice if you would publicly affirm that truth, and avoid becoming, through your silence, an accomplice in the media spreading false narratives dreamed up by Biden family attorneys to intimidate and silence lawful whistleblowers like SSA Shapley,” the letter read.<\/p>\n

When reached by Fox News Digital on Wednesday, a representative for The Washington Post said, “we don\u2019t comment on our sourcing.”<\/p>\n

The House Ways and Means Committee released testimony<\/a> last month from Shapley and another IRS whistleblower who alleged officials at the Justice Department, FBI and IRS interfered with the investigation of U.S. Attorney David Weiss’ tax evasion case against Hunter Biden.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Whatever the motivations, at every stage decisions were made that had the effect of benefiting the subject of the investigation,” Shapley said, according to testimony.<\/p>\n

“These decisions included slow-walking investigative steps, now allowing enforcement actions to be executed, limiting investigators\u2019 line of questioning for witnesses, misleading investigators on charging authority, delaying any and all actions months before elections to ensure the investigation did not go overt well before policy memorandum mandated the pause. These are just only a few examples,” he added.<\/p>\n

Shapley also alleged<\/a> that Weiss said privately on several occasions that he was not pulling the strings and that he was not in charge of the investigation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Biden\u2019s lawyer did not respond to Fox News Digital\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
