    An IRS whistleblower said critical steps in the federal investigation into Hunter Biden were put "on the back burner" as the 2020 presidential
    election approached and stressed that "the most substantive felony charges
    were left off the table," while doubling down on his claim that that the entirety of the Justice Department’s probe into the president’s son was influenced by politics.

    Whistleblower Gary Shapley Jr., who was the supervisor of the Hunter Biden investigation at the IRS, sat for an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier.
    The interview aired Wednesday on "Special Report" on Fox News Channel.

    DOJ, FBI, IRS INTERFERED WITH HUNTER BIDEN PROBE, ACCORDING TO
    WHISTLEBLOWER TESTIMONY RELEASED BY GOP

    Shapley alleged during the interview, and in testimony before the House
    Ways and Means Committee, that DOJ prosecutors directed investigators to
    avoid asking witnesses questions about President Biden; chose not to
    collect search warrants related to the president’s son; and more.

    "We weren’t allowed to ask questions about ‘dad.’ We weren’t allowed to
    ask about ‘the big guy.’ We weren’t allowed to include certain names in document requests and search warrants," Shapley said. "So, you know, we
    were precluded from following that line of questioning."

    Shapley said investigators were "trying to follow the normal process," and
    were "trying to get to the bottom" of the probe.

    "Ultimately, you know, if it was going to lead to another individual, you
    know, we should follow that to determine what was actually happening,"
    Shapley said. "But, you know, there were definitely hinderances that I’ve
    never seen before in my 14 years concerning this investigation that didn’t allow us to follow through on an investigation of any other individual to include President Biden."

    Shapley had testified before the House Ways and Means Committee that
    assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf repeatedly worked to "limit"
    questioning related to Joe Biden.
