An IRS whistleblower has given a “jaw dropping” answer on whether Joe Biden benefited from his son’s business deals in Ukraine.
IRS special agent Joseph Ziegler testified before Congress on Wednesday and said in an interview this week that numerous roadblocks were put in front of him during his investigation into President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter.
CBS News reporter Catherine Herridge asked Ziegler, “Did you uncover evidence that President Biden financially benefited from his son’s deals?”
“I don’t feel comfortable answering that question,” Ziegler responded. “Any time we potentially wanted to go down the road of asking questions related to the president, it was, ‘That’s gonna take too much approvals, we can’t ask those questions.’ And I mean, it created an environment that was very hard to deal with.”
Ziegler said that the response he would get when he tried to press the issue was, “Let’s put that on the back burner.”
Ziegler said that the only question that matters at the end of the day is, “Are we treating everyone the same? Are we treating all taxpayers the same?”
“And in this case, no, I don’t think so,” he said.
The whistleblower said that they had seen emails and other documents that showed that Hunter Biden was using his father’s position to benefit his business interests.
“It was clear that Hunter Biden was using his father’s position to get deals in Ukraine,” the whistleblower said. “And it was also clear that Joe Biden was aware of this.”
The report also found that Hunter Biden had “received millions of dollars from foreign entities while his father was vice president.”
The allegations against Joe Biden have been denied by his representatives. However, the allegations have raised serious questions about the Biden family’s business dealings.
