‘Put The President On The Stand’: IRS Whistleblower’s Attorney Slams Biden Legal Team, Timing Of Allegations

“The threat to have Joe Biden testify came at a really important time,” Tristan Leavitt, an attorney representing IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley, told Fox News host Laura Ingraham. “I think it’s important for your viewers to understand: that letter was sent on Halloween in 2022 and that letter came at a time when U.S. Attorney David Weiss was about to have the 2014 to 2015 tax charges, including a felony for 2014 for making false reports about his income taxes about hiding his Burisma income, those were about to expire, the statute of limitations.”

Attorney General Merrick Garland announced the appointment of United States Attorney David Weiss as special counsel Aug. 11 to investigate allegations surrounding Biden.

“Weiss had a decision to make,” Leavitt said. “So, I don’t think it’s a coincidence at all that Chris Clark is writing to Weiss and saying hey, we would put the president on the stand at a time when he is making a decision about whether to let these Burisma charges go. So, I think that’s very significant.”

Shapley and fellow whistleblower Joseph Zeigler testified about interference with the investigation into Biden during a July 19 hearing held by the House Oversight Committee.
