There was unanimous agreement among the federal prosecutors assigned to the Hunter Biden investigation to recommend felony and misdemeanor tax charges for President Biden’s son that were ultimately not brought — in violation of Justice Department policy, IRS special agent Joseph Ziegler said Thursday.
“So, the four assigned prosecutors of the case agreed with recommending felony and misdemeanor tax charges for Hunter Biden. [Delaware US Attorney] David Weiss also agreed with that, and I know that from a meeting that I had with him in late August, early September,” Ziegler told CNN’s Jake Tapper on Thursday.
Ziegler, who along with fellow IRS agent Gary Shapley came forward to the House Ways and Means Committee earlier this summer alleging a high-level coverup in the government’s five-year-long investigation into Hunter Biden, further explained that it goes against DOJ policy to not charge an individual with the felony when there is evidence of both a felony and misdemeanor being committed as part of a tax crime.
“So, they all agreed to charging the felony and misdemeanor. The DOJ policy on this is that — their tax policy is that — if you have a felony with a misdemeanor, you have to charge the felony, and that’s to prevent inequitable treatment of taxpayers and they didn’t do that,” Ziegler claimed.
Hunter Biden agreed to plead guilty to two misdemeanor charges of failing to pay federal income taxes, according to a letter submitted to federal court by Weiss in June.
