Did This Biden Justice Department Official Cover Up An Illegal $2 Million Contribution To Biden?

In explosive testimony, an IRS whistleblower alleges a top Justice Department official blocked an investigation into an illegal $2 million contribution to the 2020 campaign of President Joe Biden.

IRS investigator Gary Shapley alleges, in handwritten notes, that in January 2022 Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf blocked his request to look into whether an arrangement for a Democrat donor to pay off delinquent taxes owed by Biden’s adult son Hunter, preventing the matter from becoming a campaign issue, was an illegal campaign contribution.

Wolf allegedly stated she was not “personally” interested in the case and blocked any further investigation.

The Committee reports:

In 2020, the same year Joe Biden became the Democrat’s nominee for President, Kevin Morris began paying the unpaid taxes of the son of a former Vice President and potential next President. Outside reporting confirmed that not only did Morris pay his unpaid taxes, but he also bought Hunter Biden’s artwork and controls the first son’s 10 percent stake in a Chinese private equity firm, BHR. In an FBI interview, James Biden, the President’s brother, testified he “didn’t know why” Morris was paying Hunter Biden’s taxes.

Despite this evidence, the IRS investigation that may have revealed a connection between President Biden’s campaign and Hunter Biden’s tax fraud was stopped cold.

But it appears the Justice Department took an interest into looking into such payments, when the beneficiary was Donald Trump.

In prosecuting Trump’s former attorney Michael Cohen, the Justice Department argued that any money spent to suppress a damaging news story, with the intent of it helping a political campaign, was a campaign expenditure.

Cohen, through a shell corporation, paid adult film star Stormy Daniels $130,000 to stop her from revealing an affair with Trump, with Trump reimbursing Cohen.  Trump asked Cohen to make the payment to prevent Daniels from revealing the affair in the final days of the 2020 presidential campaign.

Since the money was intended to benefit Trump’s campaign, it was a campaign contribution under federal law.  Cohen pleaded guilty to causing an illegal corporate campaign contribution, and making a campaign contribution in excess of $2,700.

But when it came to a Democrat donor paying off a $2 million tax debt to avoid a story damaging to Biden, the Justice Department appears to have had a change of heart.

“It is reasonable to ask who requested that Kevin Morris cover Hunter Biden’s tax liability or whether he received something in return for his more than $2 million dollars in payments to someone that he barely knew,” said Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-Mo). “One of the biggest benefits to the Joe Biden presidential campaign in 2020 was Kevin Morris trying to cover the tracks of Hunter’s mounting legal troubles. Moreover, the American people deserve to know why when IRS investigators smelled a potential campaign finance violation and wanted to investigate the matter further, the Justice Department moved to shut down the investigation.”

“Another piece of evidence implicating Joe Biden and, in this case, his presidential campaign, stopped dead in its tracks,” Smith added.
