Attorney General Merrick Garland reportedly is the “senior political appointee” whose sworn testimony an Internal Revenue Service whistleblower is casting doubt on in the Justice Department’s (DOJ) ongoing investigation of Hunter Biden, according to multiple reports.
A lawyer representing the whistleblower sent a bombshell letter to Congress Wednesday, alleging that a “high-profile, controversial” case managed by the DOJ — confirmed by multiple reports to be the investigation into Hunter Biden stemming from an alleged failure to pay taxes — faced “clear conflicts of interest.” The whistleblower further claimed to have information that contradicted the sworn testimony of a “senior” Biden administration official, who has been identified as Merrick Garland, first by the New York Post, and later by the Washington Examiner and Daily Mail, all citing anonymous sources.

In April 2022, Garland testified to Republican Sen. Bill Hagerty of Tennessee that there would be no “interference of any political or improper kind” with regards to an investigation into Hunter Biden, and claimed that U.S. Attorney David Weiss of Delaware, a Trump appointee was the “supervisor” of the investigation and had full authority to bring charges, according to the Post. He reiterated his promise to “ensure [Weiss is] able to carry out his investigation” in testimony to Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa in March 2023.
It is not immediately clear what testimony in particular the whistleblower was referring to.
Garland has repeatedly drawn criticism for Republicans over allegations that he improperly directed the FBI to “use its authority” to investigate parents who protested school board meetings, targeted pro-life activists for enforcement and generally politicized activity at the Justice Department.
The Post was previously the first to break the story regarding Hunter Biden’s laptop in October 2020, which linked his father to his business dealings with a Ukrainian energy firm, data from which Biden’s legal team claimed ownership of in February 2023. The Daily Caller News Foundation verified a key email days later, nearly a year and a half before it was confirmed by the Washington Post.
The DOJ didn’t immediately respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Although millions of American parents send their precious children off to public school every day, imagining their kids' days will be filled with reading, writing, arithmetic, science, history, sports and music, they're not only in for a shock – but for total BETRAYAL. Today's "public" (government) schools have become far-left ideological, political and religious indoctrination centers aimed at reprogramming and transforming America's children.
Kids are being taught to HATE their own country and to see themselves and their parents as racists – or victims of racists. They are sexualized and corrupted, and many are groomed into the dark LGBT world, with almost 6,000 schools prohibiting parents from even hearing about their child's transgender "transition." In between all the far-left indoctrination and sexual corruption, teachers take time to scare children to death about the near-term end of life on earth due to "catastrophic climate change." Another lie. But it's all classic Marxism/communism, with even the "3 R's" – reading, writing and arithmetic – now being corrupted with "woke," "1984"-style madness.
Perhaps never has the true threat of today's U.S. public school system been exposed as in the sensational April issue of WND's critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled "THE GREATEST BETRAYAL: How Marxism and madness have taken over America's public school system." Whistleblower is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
