Former Deputy Independent Counsel Sol Wisenberg said Friday that two Internal Revenue Service whistleblowers were vindicated by Thursday’s Hunter Biden indictment.
Special counsel David Weiss secured the nine-count indictment of Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, for failing to pay over $1 million in taxes from 2016 to 2019. Biden previously was indicted by a federal grand jury in Delaware on charges of illegally possessing a firearm while using illegal drugs and for making false statements in the course of purchasing the firearm on Sept. 14, and entered a “not guilty” plea in a federal court in Wilmington, Delaware, on Oct. 3.

“It’s devastating to Hunter Biden and there’s absolutely no reason why it couldn’t have been done several months ago or a year ago,” Wisenberg told Fox News host Laura Ingraham. “And it absolutely vindicates the whistleblowers, because this is their evidence that they got and demanded not be ignored. It vindicates them and it shows what an absolute sweetheart deal that plea that imploded was.”
Hunter Biden pleaded not guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and a felony gun charge during a July 26 hearing after a plea bargain announced June 20 collapsed after United States District Judge Maryellen Noreika questioned the initial plea deal reached between federal prosecutors and Biden.
