EXCERPT:
HAAKE: "Lester, these two senior IRS agents allege that the President’s son received preferential treatment throughout the five-year tax investigation that resulted in two misdemeanor guilty pleas this week. In testimony released by a Republican-led House committee, the agents accuse the DoJ and the FBI of slow-walking portions of the investigation to Hunter Biden’s benefit, and that efforts by the Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney leading the probe to charge more serious crimes were blocked. The DoJ spokesman tonight denied any such interference. One whistleblower also provided what he says are WhatsApp messages from Hunter Biden to a Chinese business associate from 2017 in which the younger Biden says he’s sitting with his father, waiting on a response to a proposal, and that he and the then-former Vice President will make the business partner regret not responding. Now, NBC News has not yet confirmed the authenticity of that message. The White House tonight says President Biden has upheld his commitment to let this investigation proceed free of any political interference. Hunter Biden’s attorneys have not responded to our request for comment.”
