On Tuesday, two IRS whistleblowers, Stephen Newton and Peter Zelinski, testified before Congress in regard to a formerly secret IRS investigation into the actions of President Joe Biden and his administration. The hearing was held behind closed doors and witnessed by only a small number of lawmakers and their staff members.
The IRS internal investigation is reportedly related to allegations of irregularities concerning the President’s taxes and those of his close associates. The proceedings have remained shrouded in secrecy, and while it is unclear exactly what was discussed, these two whistleblowers played a pivotal role in unveiling the behind-the-scenes investigation.
The testimony occurred amidst the ongoing impeachment inquiry into President Biden. Although the whistleblower testimony was reportedly not specific to the process, it adds to the overall suspicion of potential misconduct. In addition, Newton and Zelinski were reportedly able to shed a light on how the IRS has been reacting to the President and his decisions.
While much of the details from the hearing are still unclear, this new testimony provides an insight into what appears to be an internal investigation that could have major implications for the Biden administration. Congressional lawmakers will now be looking to further scrutinize the IRS’s conduct and its relationship with the President’s actions.
With more and more allegations and scrutiny mounting, the results of this internal investigation could be a significant factor in determining if the President is guilty of any wrong-doing. However, due to the confidential nature of the proceedings, it is both unlikely and unlikely that the results of the hearings will be made public anytime soon.
For now, the testimony of these two IRS whistleblowers remains a critical piece of evidence in the ongoing Biden impeachment inquiry. As the proceedings are held behind closed doors, only the select few who witnessed the testimonies know the true extent of the investigation and its implications for the President and his administration.
