In a letter to Speaker Mike Johnson Wednesday, Rep. Matt Gaetz (FL-01) urged him to order the House Office of General Counsel to get involved in Robert Hunter Biden v. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in order to defend the IRS whistleblowers who have come forward with information about Hunter Biden’s tax fraud.
After information about his purported tax fraud surfaced, Hunter Biden filed a lawsuit against the IRS.
The IRS whistleblowers who came forward to reveal the Biden family’s possible illegal activities are the targets of his lawsuit.

Speaker Johnson can defend the rights of all Americans to make protected disclosures to Congress as well as the prerogatives of the House of Representatives by permitting the House Office of General Counsel to intervene in the litigation.
“Pending in federal district court for the District of Columbia is No. 1:23-cv-0271, before Judge Kelly, is the civil action Robert Hunter Biden v. Internal Revenue Service. Due to federal law, this is the only available action of Hunter Biden and the Democrats to silence the I.R.S. whistleblowers who have so bravely come forward with details of Hunter Biden’s tax fraud. The interests of the House of Representatives and the legal rights of our whistleblowers are not being zealously defended by the United States Department of Justice (DOJ), who is defending the lawsuit on behalf of the I.R.S.” said Gaetz.
“We should be doing everything we can to protect these brave whistleblowers. As a result, pursuant to House Rule 8(c) and 2 U.S.C. § 5571, I respectfully request that you task the House Office of General Counsel with moving to intervene in Biden v. IRS to protect the prerogatives of the House of Representatives and to protect the rights of all Americans to make protected disclosures to Congress,” Gaetz said in his letter.
