Wednesday's IRS whistleblower testimony was filled new information. While discussing the Biden family probe, IRS Agent Joseph Ziegler said Joe Biden was "extremely well known" to feds investigating Hunter and that he showed up at an FBI office during the probe.
"There were definitely potential issues I saw with working this case in Delaware," IRS special agent Joseph Ziegler said in prepared remarks before the House Oversight Committee. "We were working with a small [US Attorney's Office] who might not have ever worked a case of this caliber. Delaware was the state in which the subject's father lived in, and the family was extremely well known throughout the state, including [by] people on the team."
"This was later evident by the president, Joe Biden, having to come into the FBI office on an unrelated matter, and it being joked [about] with the team," Ziegler added, presumably referring to the bureau's Baltimore field office. "Another example was that a magistrate judge in Delaware made inappropriate comments at the signing of the first electronic search warrant that had caused her to recuse themself from the investigation, which set us back an additional 4 months as we had to draft new warrants and redo investigative steps."
