On October 7, 2022, a US attorney’s office – which is not identified in the letter but which CNN has learned is the office of Delaware US Attorney David Weiss – “became aware that both the IRS and the FBI had longstanding concerns about the handling of the case,” and those concerns had been communicated to others up the chain of command, Leavitt wrote.
The IRS whistleblower has claimed, through his attorneys, that there has been political interference in the ongoing probe into the president’s son. The whistleblower is set to share his concerns with the Republican-led House Ways and Means Committee on Friday, according to a separate letter from the attorneys.
