The opening statement for “Whistleblower X,” an unidentified special agent with the IRS’s criminal investigations division, has been released ahead of his Wednesday afternoon testimony before House lawmakers.
Whistleblower X and Gary Shapley, who worked as an IRS supervisory agent on the agency’s investigation into Hunter Biden’s tax affairs, will testify before the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability on Wednesday at around 1:00 p.m.
“I have witnessed the corrosion of ethical standards and the abuse of power that threaten our nation. It is within this context that I have chosen to shed light on these actions and expose those responsible. I recognize that while I was present at the start of this investigation and was closely involved with the investigation for roughly five years — that I am just a part of the story,” the planned opening statement from the whistleblower says. “My aim is to address systemic problems that have allowed misconduct to flourish. It is not a call for blame but a call for accountability and reform.”
