Federal agents secured evidence that Hunter Biden engaged in a “pretty classic tax evasion scheme” that allowed him to avoid paying taxes on millions of dollars in income since at least 2014, and the deal he ultimately got would not have been afforded to other Americans facing such serious charges, an IRS whistleblower who supervised the investigation tells Just the News.
“If these facts were from the local businessman or the neighbor next door, they would have been charged, they would have already probably had their entire sentence,” IRS Supervisor Agent Gary Shapley said during a 45-minute interview aired Thursday on the John Solomon Reports podcast.
“If you’re specifically talking about Burisma, for 2014, there was conservatively $400,000 in unreported Burisma income on his income tax returns. And, you know, that was around $120,000 to $125,000 in tax withholdings as a result of that failure to report that income,” he explained.
Shapley said career agents and prosecutors signed off on a plan to charge Hunter Biden with multiple felonies to include the Burisma monies from 2014, but when Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, the lead prosecutor, asked his colleagues in Los Angeles and Washington D.C. to secure an indictment he was turned down. And then the statute of limitations was allowed to expire for the earlier offenses.
