House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) will partake in the House Oversight Committee’s Wednesday hearing with the two IRS whistleblowers who allege the Justice Department interfered with the criminal investigation into Hunter Biden.
Smith, who is not a member of the Oversight Committee, will be involved in the hearing, he told the Washington Examiner. When asked if anything new would be coming out of the hearing or if the whistleblowers would be reciting the same testimony they gave Ways and Means, Smith said, “People will want to watch the hearing.”

“There'll be a lot of information that Americans will want to know about,” Smith said. A spokesperson for the House Oversight Committee confirmed the Missouri Republican would participate.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) sits on the House Oversight Committee, so he too will be involved in the hearing.
The two whistleblowers, IRS supervisory agent Gary Shapley and an anonymous whistleblower referred to as “whistleblower x,” first testified to the Ways and Means Committee, which is the committee of jurisdiction. They alleged that the DOJ interfered in Biden’s criminal investigation by blocking David Weiss, the lead U.S. attorney on the case, from bringing charges in the jurisdiction of his choice and denied his request for special counsel status.
