A top Senate Republican is being cut out from a congressional investigation into IRS whistleblower claims that a Justice Department and IRS probe of Hunter Biden's alleged tax fraud is being mishandled.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, who is a member of the Senate Finance Committee and a co-chairman of the Whistleblower Protection Caucus, is being denied access to the investigation by committee chairman Sen. Ron Wyden, Oregon Democrat.
Specifically, Grassley and his investigative team are being denied access to an interview scheduled to take place in coming weeks with one of the whistleblowers who is alleging that the whistleblower's entire team had been removed last week from the Hunter Biden probe as retaliation for coming forward with claims the prob was being mishandled.
A spokesperson for Grassley said that the IRS whistleblower’s attorneys "have specifically included Sen. Grassley in their communications with Congress, so there’s no legitimate reason to exclude Grassley’s staff from participating in this investigation."

"Sen. Grassley and his investigations unit are subject matter experts on both whistleblower protections and the Biden family business controversies. They also happen to be very familiar with the specific statutes protecting sensitive tax information," Taylor Foy, communications director for Grassley told Fox News Digital.
