House of Representatives committees leading the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden have published an interim staff report concluding Biden's Department of Justice attempted to control and impede the Internal Revenue Service's tax crime investigation of his son Hunter.
The report serves to address just one of the three lines of investigation the committees opened nearly three months ago.
According to the report, "The Justice Department afforded Hunter Biden-the President's son-preferential treatment throughout its investigation of his numerous alleged crimes then sought to cover up its actions after two courageous IRS agents stepped forward to blow the whistle on the Department's deviations from its investigative standards."
The committees state Biden appointees "Exercised significant oversight and control over the investigation," adding Special Counsel David Weiss "Did not have 'ultimate authority' over the Hunter Biden case."
" can influence the investigation in a manner favorable to him.
" House investigators reiterated concerns over how closely the DOJ worked with Hunter Biden's lawyers in crafting the 'sweetheart' plea deal later rejected by a federal judge.
A formal vote to adopt the impeachment inquiry is expected next week.
