Top Republicans on Capitol Hill are demanding that the Office of Special Counsel investigate claims IRS whistleblowers were removed from the probe into Hunter Biden.
In June, the House Ways and Means Committee released transcripts of two IRS whistleblowers who alleged that the Justice Department and IRS investigation into the president's son's business dealings were "influenced by politics." Those whistleblowers claimed they were removed from the investigation into Hunter Biden after they made those allegations.
In a letter sent Wednesday to Henry J. Kerner in the Office of Special Counsel (OSC), Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and others asked the Office of Special Counsel to "immediately investigate all allegations of retaliation against these IRS whistleblowers."
They also asked the office to "immediately seek the appropriate disciplinary actions against all who engaged in unlawful conduct against these whistleblowers."
