House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer, and Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith have jointly demanded accountability for the alleged retaliation against Hunter Biden whistleblowers. The three chairmen have sent letters to top officials, including Attorney General Merrick Garland, IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel, and Special Counsel David Weiss, seeking all documents and communications related to the investigation of IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joe Ziegler.

In their letter to Commissioner Daniel Werfel, the chairmen expressed concerns about an alleged intimidation campaign by Hunter Biden and his lawyers against the whistleblowers. They highlighted false allegations and demands for investigations made by Hunter Biden's legal team, pointing out instances where the DOJ appeared to be receptive to these tactics.

The chairmen emphasized the importance of protecting whistleblowers, stating, "The Committees will not tolerate any retaliatory conduct by the Department or the IRS against these or any other whistleblowers." They raised serious concerns about the potential weaponization of the federal government and called for an end to any attempts to intimidate or retaliate against the whistleblowers.

Whistleblowers are crucial in exposing misconduct and corruption within federal agencies, and the chairmen underscored the need to safeguard their rights. They reiterated that any investigations against whistleblowers for lawful disclosures are alarming and must be addressed promptly.
