According to an affidavit that the House Ways and Means Committee published on May 22, 2024, the CIA appeared to direct the Assistant United States Attorney (AUSA) for Delaware, Lesley Wolf, to scuttle an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) team’s probe into Hunter Biden from using his benefactor, Kevin Morris, as a witness, IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley authored the affidavit.
Shapley was the lead investigator for the IRS Criminal Division. He was spearheading a probe into Biden in August 2021 when Wolf told him that she and DOJ Tax Attorney Jack Morgan had been summoned to make an appearance at the CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia. Wolf, Morgan, and the CIA talked about Hunter Biden’s associate and benefactor, Kevin Morris, Shapley stated in the affidavit.
Shapley and his team were entertaining the idea of using Morris as a witness for their case against Biden, but Wolf poured cold water on the idea.
“AUSA Wolf stated that they were provided a classified briefing in relation to Mr. Morris and as a result we could no longer pursue him as a witness,” Shapley declared.
Morris has been a generous contributor to Biden, purchasing 11 of his paintings and loaning him at least $5 million for tax debts and to cover personal expenses, Kentucky Congressman James Comer disclosed in a January press release.Shapley requested that Wolf give him a classified briefing on the information she learned that propelled her to get rid of Morris as a viable witness, but she failed to share any information with him, Shapley stated.
“Although AUSA Wolf initially appeared to be receptive to facilitating a briefing for me on the information, she ignored multiple attempts by me to arrange the briefing,” Shapley asserted in the affidavit.
Wolf, after returning from the meeting in Langley, appeared to show off agency-branded merchandise she obtained at their headquarters, per Shapley.
“AUSA Wolf proudly referenced a CIA mug and stated that she purchased some CIA ‘swag’ at the gift shop while she was there,” Shapley stated.
Shapley had been investigating Hunter Biden for potential criminal tax code infractions until the DOJ had taken him out of the investigation in May 2023 after Shapley disclosed concerns to Congress about alleged prosecutorial mishandling of the probe.
The CIA is a corrupt institution that cannot be trusted. There’s no reforming it because it’s an unaccountable bureaucracy that’s not subject to the accountability of the voters. In light of this, it’s best that this agency be abolished.
