IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel admitted last week that if an IRS whistleblower had their "work assignment" changed, it came at the direction of the Justice Department.
There are at least two IRS whistleblowers, one being a criminal supervisory special agent, that claim the Justice Department has interfered in a high-profile criminal investigation. While the attorneys representing the supervisory agent have been careful not to name the subject of that investigation, it is believed to be the Hunter Biden probe.
What did Werfel say?
Responding to allegations of internal retaliation against IRS whistleblowers, Werfel sent the House Ways and Means Committee a letter on May 17 denying those accusations, Fox News reported.
But he also suggested the Justice Department is responsible for actions taken against the whistleblower who came forward last month.
"I want to state unequivocally that I have not intervened — and will not intervene — in any way that would impact the status of any whistleblower," Werfel wrote, according to Fox News.
