The Treasury Department is promoting I.R.S. agents Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, who alleged the Hunter Biden tax investigation was inadequately pursued. The agents engaged with House Republicans as pivotal witnesses during an impeachment effort against President Biden. They claimed retaliation from the I.R.S. following their disclosures regarding the tax case. Hunter Biden's guilty plea on tax charges last year has made the investigation controversial. Treasury Secretary Bessent highlighted their roles in reforming the agency’s culture, focusing on modernization and improved taxpayer service, against a backdrop of previous administrative changes to I.R.S. leadership.
