IRS whistleblower Joseph Ziegler said he felt blocked from pursuing matters in the Hunter Biden investigation, including any matters which may have led them to Hunter Biden’s father, President Joe Biden.
Ziegler, who previously was identified as Whistleblower X, alleged he and other agents were unable to ask questions that came close to Joe Biden in an interview with CBS News.
“Anytime we potentially wanted to go down the road of asking questions related to the president, it was ‘That’s gonna take too much approvals. We can’t ask those questions,'” Ziegler said.
He also said that his requests for extra approval would not be met many times, never getting the priority it needed.
“There would be a point to where it would be like, ‘Well, let’s think about it. Let’s put that on the back burner.’ And it would now move down to item number 50,” Ziegler said.

Ziegler is testifying before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday, alongside fellow IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley.
The hearing comes almost a month after it was announced Hunter Biden would enter a plea deal related to two charges regarding failure to pay federal income tax.
