IRS Whistleblower’s Notes Contradict FBI Agent About Weiss Meeting on Hunter Biden Case
Attorneys for IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley released on Wednesday contemporaneous handwritten notes taken by Shapely at a key October 7, 2022 meeting with U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss in the Hunter Biden investigation that confirms his testimony and contradicts that of an FBI agent assigned to the case, Thomas Sobocinski. (Images of Shapely’s notes posted by the House Judiciary Committee are at the end of this article.)
The notes also cast doubts on statements by Weiss about his status and independence. Weiss was appointed Special Counsel in the Hunter Biden investigation last month by Attorney General Merrick Garland after both men had professed that Weiss already had the powers of a special counsel.
Soborcinski’s closed door testimony given last week to House lawmakers was leaked to the Washington Post on Tuesday in an effort to discredit Shapley’s testimony that Weiss had said he was not the decider on whether to charge Hunter Biden on tax violations.
