The subpoenas stem from a whistleblower's account that the U.S. attorney investigating the president's son stated that he lacked the authority to file any charges against Hunter Biden.
Two senior IRS officials have been subpoenaed by the GOP-led House Ways and Means Committee, according to documents obtained by CBS News, for testimony about an October 2022 meeting in which an IRS whistleblower alleged that David Weiss, who was then the U.S. attorney investigating President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, said he did not have the ultimate authority to bring charges against the president's son.
"The Committees requested the interview with you because you have been identified as someone who has direct knowledge of a key meeting on October 7, 2022, in which updates about the Hunter Biden investigation were discussed," Smith wrote."To date, the IRS has refused to voluntarily cooperate with the pending request for a transcribed interview with you. Therefore, please find attached a subpoena compelling you to sit for a deposition before the Committee on Ways and Means.
Shapley then alleged that bringing tax charges in California, where Hunter Biden now lives, was also in doubt. The IRS did not immediately respond to requests for CBS News' request for comment. A spokesperson for Weiss in Delaware and the Justice Department declined to comment. in a letter on June 30 that he had been given the authority to bring charges with the matter in any district"where charges could be brought," including Washington, D.C., or California.
