An IRS whistleblower is going public with the accusation that the Justice Department has "slow-walked" the investigation into Hunter Biden's finances.
IRS agent Gary Shapley, a 14-year veteran of the agency, said he immediately noticed "deviations" prosecutors were making from the normal process when he assumed oversight of "a high profile, controversial" investigation. That investigation is, in fact, the DOJ's inquiry into the president's son's finances.
"There were multiple steps that were slow-walked — were just completely not done — at the direction of the Department of Justice," Shapely told CBS News in an interview. "When I took control of this particular investigation, I immediately saw deviations from the normal process. It was way outside the norm of what I've experienced in the past."
Shapely said he was assigned to the "sensitive" investigation in January 2020, and his concerns grew over the course of several months, he told the outlet. He began documenting those misgivings in June of the same year.

Chief among those concerns was what he described as a series of actions taken that appeared to protect Biden from the investigation.
"Each and every time, it seemed to always benefit the subject," Shapley told CBS. "It just got to that point where that switch was turned on. And I just couldn't silence my conscience anymore."
