Summary

Internal Revenue Service whistleblower Gary Shapley has alleged that Hunter Biden received special treatment that allowed the investigation into his finances to be placed "on the back burner" as the 2020 election grew closer. In his recently released interview with Special Report's Bret Baier, Shapley claimed that Trump-appointed U.S. attorney David Weiss told him that he was not truly in charge of the investigation--this conflicts with what U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland has repeatedly stated for months. Fox News Justice Correspondent David Spunt joins the podcast to explain the whistleblower's allegations about political influence on Hunter's case, AG Merrick Garland's steadfast assertions on the matter, and what House Republicans are likely to do with these new claims from whistleblowers.
