Attorneys for the IRS criminal investigator who alleged missteps in the Department of Justice's investigation into Hunter Biden released on Wednesday handwritten notes their client took during a pivotal meeting last year.
The notes corroborate an email and testimony that Gary Shapley, a 14-year veteran IRS agent, provided to Congress earlier this year in which he described a controversial meeting he and a handful of other senior investigators sat in on Oct. 7, 2022.During the meeting, then-U.S. Attorney David Weiss allegedly said, according to Shapley, that he did not have the charging authority he needed to prosecute Biden and that he requested special counsel authority from DOJ and was denied.
He added,"Not going to charge 14/15," a reference to Shapley allegedly discovering at the meeting that Weiss's team of prosecutors had decided not to charge Biden for any tax crimes he may have committed in 2014 and 2015. "USA CA — [Martin] Estrada in charge of authorizing these charges in that jurisdiction + Weiss requested Special Counsel status in D.C. + Main DOJ said 'no' — follow the process," Shapley wrote in the notes.
The letter was addressed to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan and ranking member Jerry Nadler and was aimed at disputing testimony Thomas Sobocinski, an FBI special agent in charge at the Baltimore Field Office, gave to the House Judiciary Committee last week.
