FBI testimony casts doubt on allegations of politicization in Hunter Biden tax probe
- An FBI agent involved in the Hunter Biden investigation disputed claims by IRS whistleblowers that prosecutors were prevented from pursuing tax charges.
- The agent stated that U.S. Attorney David Weiss had full authority over the case, contradicting allegations he said otherwise.
- Weiss was eventually granted special counsel status amid frustrations over the investigation's slow pace in bringing charges.
- Whistleblowers provided handwritten notes claiming Weiss said he wasn't the sole decision-maker on charges.
- The agent testified politics did not influence the probe, though acknowledged Biden's ties complicated the investigation.
