IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joe Ziegler, who squashed Hunter Biden’s sweetheart deal on his tax crimes, and then were kicked off the case and ostracized, have been promoted to leadership positions at the Treasury Department.
It is sweet vindication for the veteran investigators who have endured two years of retaliation since they blew the whistle on political interference in their criminal investigation of the former first son.
Shapley and Ziegler will start work this week as senior advisers to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, guiding reform of the tax agency for 12 months, after which they will transition to senior IRS leadership roles to execute the plans.
Shapley, his former supervisory agent, says: “We will be in a great position to assist the administration in effecting its goals. The winners will be the American people.”
Said Bessent: “I am pleased to welcome Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler to the Treasury Department, where they will help us drive much-needed cultural reform within the IRS.
