LEADERSHIP POSITIONS TO TWO
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discusses the promotions of the Hunter Biden IRS whistleblowers to leadership roles in the department, tariff strategy, recession concerns and more during a Mornings with Maria exclusive.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced Tuesday that two Internal Revenue Service (IRS) whistleblowers who faced political persecution over their roles in the tax evasion investigation of Hunter Biden will return to the agency as advisers.
Bessent said that Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler will join the Treasury Department as senior advisers after they were wrongfully targeted for their role in the investigation. Shapley was a senior supervisory special agent at the IRS, while Ziegler was a special agent.
"I went and decided I would bring them into Treasury, give them a year to investigate the wrongdoing that's going on at the IRS, and then they will go back in and Mr. Shapley will serve as the senior deputy for investigations and enforcement," Bessent said Tuesday on FOX Business' "Mornings with Maria."
