President Donald Trump’s administration is hiring two IRS agents who alleged a coverup of Hunter Biden’s tax crimes, tasking them with leading “reform” at the agency.
The Treasury Department announced in a Tuesday press release that whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler will be senior advisors at the department. The agents came into the spotlight in 2023, alleging that federal agents slow-walked investigations into former President Joe Biden’s son and later alleged that the Biden administration tried to wreck their careers for doing so.
“These veteran civil servants join us to help further the agency’s focus on collections, modernization, and customer service, so we can deliver a more effective and efficient IRS experience for hardworking American taxpayers,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Tuesday. The secretary said the two men “will help us drive much-needed cultural reform within the IRS.”
