Arecently retired FBI agent told Congress behind closed doors Monday that the bureau tipped off Joe Biden's team and the Secret Service in fall 2020 about a plan to interview Hunter Biden in his criminal tax probe, corroborating allegations from two IRS whistleblowers, Just the News has confirmed.
The FBI agent, who worked alongside the IRS whistleblowers on the Hunter Biden case when he was assigned to the Baltimore field office, gave his account in a transcribed interview before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, providing fresh evidence of alleged political interference in the treatment of Joe Biden's son.
He corroborated several aspects of the account IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley and a second agent gave Congress last month, including that law enforcement's plan to conduct a surprise interview in early December 2020 with Hunter Biden about alleged tax crimes was foiled by the tipoff.
The agent, whose name wasn't immediately made public, said the bureau told both Joe Biden's transition office and the Secret Service, creating a tipoff that thwarted the planned interview.

Pdf He said the alert afforded Hunter Biden and his team "An opportunity to obstruct" the investigation.
Shapley and his IRS colleague are slated to testify in public for the first time as early as Wednesday before House Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer's panel, and officials told Just the News they hope to release a transcript of the FBI agent's corroborating testimony in the next few days.
