The Facts
An unnamed US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agent said to be involved in the federal probe of Hunter Biden's taxes has alleged that undue political interference has hampered the investigation. Hunter Biden is Pres. Joe Biden's son.
Mark D. Lytle, a lawyer for the whistleblower, wrote to Congress Wednesday, stating his client is a "career IRS Criminal Supervisory Special Agent who has been overseeing the ongoing and sensitive investigation of a high profile, controversial subject since early 2020."
The Spin
Democratic narrative
Biden has been in public office for a staggering half-century, and there have never been any signs of greed or corruption. Any wrongdoing by his son Hunter seems more like a personal tragedy than a public scandal. As many politicians' children are, Hunter was likely destroyed by the political arena he was born into but never chose to be a part of. Whether he committed illegal acts has nothing to do with his father but rather an unfortunate media landscape that can't help but report on celebrities' children.
Republican narrative
Of course, Joe Biden has gone out of his way to shield Hunter from prosecution. How else could he have committed so many documented crimes without ever facing justice for any of them? If regular Americans lied on their federal firearms form and then filmed themselves waving their illegal gun in the air while enjoying the company of a prostitute, they would likely face serious consequences from federal authorities. Hunter Biden committed both of those crimes, among others, but his dad's power and influence got him off the hook.
