An Internal Revenue Service whistleblower claims that Hunter Biden hasn’t paid any taxes on the money he made in Ukraine.
IRS Supervisor Agent Gary Shapley told John Solomon on the John Solomon Reports podcast his team had secured evidence that Biden was engaging in a multimillion-dollar tax evasion scheme. In total, the first son avoided paying roughly $2.2 million in taxes on more than $8 million in income between 2014 and 2019. Of that amount, $400,000 was from the Ukrainian firm Burisma, which he worked with and falsely reported as loans, rather than income.

“If you’re specifically talking about Burisma, for 2014, there was, conservatively, $400,000 in unreported Burisma income on his income tax returns. And, you know, that was around $120,000 to $125,000 in tax withholdings as a result of that failure to report that income,” Shapley said. “It’s a pretty classic tax evasion scheme, and it was for the purpose of not paying taxes on this income.”
Biden was partly caught due to inconsistencies in record-keeping, the agent said.
“You know, even the parties didn’t treat the money the same because Hunter Biden is telling his people that they are loans to him, and Devon Archer and Rosemont Seneca Bohai are booking those as expenses on their books,” he said.
The failure to prosecute Biden over the wrongdoing made Shapley believe that political interference was afoot.
“If these facts were from the local businessman or the neighbor next door, they would have been charged; they would have already probably had their entire sentence,” he said.

Shapley countered accusations from Democrats that he is simply a disgruntled agent with a bone to pick against the IRS; he claims that he became a whistleblower to preserve the agency’s integrity.
“I’m pro-IRS. I’m pro-mission. I’m pro-agency,” he said. “I’ve been a senior leader at this agency, I have a lot of great friends in senior leadership. And I believe in what we’re doing. But I believe in what we’re doing when we’re treating people fairly. And, you know, it just didn’t happen in this particular case.”
