The recent indictment of Hunter Biden has been hailed as a vindication for IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler. On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Ingraham Angle,” Tristan Leavitt, the attorney for Shapley, declared that the indictment “shows that that plea deal was” a success.
The indictment of Biden, which was announced by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Delaware, has been seen as both a victory for the IRS whistleblowers and a warning to those who may be considering similar actions. The indictment alleges that Biden “knowingly and willfully” failed to pay taxes on income he received from a consulting company he owned and operated.
Shapley and Ziegler, who are both former IRS employees, were the first to raise the alarm about the alleged tax evasion by Biden. They both filed whistleblower complaints in 2019, alleging that Biden had failed to pay taxes on income he had received from a consulting company he owned and operated.
The IRS subsequently launched an investigation into the matter, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Delaware ultimately brought charges against Biden. The indictment, which was announced on Thursday, charges Biden with four counts of tax evasion and one count of filing a false tax return.
The indictment is a clear victory for Shapley and Ziegler, who were both praised by Leavitt for their courage in coming forward with the allegations. “It’s a vindication for these whistleblowers,” Leavitt said. “They had the courage to come forward and make these allegations, and now we’re seeing that they were right.”
The indictment is also a warning to those who may be considering similar actions. “If you’re thinking about not paying your taxes, then you should think twice,” Leavitt said. “The government is taking this very seriously, and they’re going to prosecute those who don’t comply with the law.”
The indictment of Hunter Biden has been seen as a victory for the IRS whistleblowers, and a warning to those who may be considering similar actions. It is a reminder that the government takes tax evasion seriously, and that those who fail to comply with the law may face serious consequences.
The indictment is also a testament to the courage of Shapley and Ziegler, who were the first to raise the alarm about the alleged tax evasion. Their actions have been praised by Leavitt, and their courage should serve as an inspiration to other whistleblowers.
