Federal investigators were blocked by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) from interviewing Hunter Biden’s “financial benefactor” Kevin Morris, the entertainment attorney who provided the junior Biden with $6.5 million in loans. The House Republicans got this revelation last week from a whistleblower.
The New York Post exclusively reported on Thursday (March 21) that the House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer and the Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan were informed by a whistleblower that the CIA blocked officials from the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) from interviewing Kevin Morris in August 2021. The interview was part of the federal investigation into Hunter Biden’s tax crimes prevailing over five years.
The story included a letter, dated March 21, from Congressmen Comer and Jordan to CIA Director William Burns to address the concerns raised by the new revelation. The letter says:
Two DOJ officials were allegedly summoned to CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia for a briefing regarding Mr. Morris. At that meeting, it was communicated that Mr. Morris could not be a witness during the investigation.
The letter asked Director Burns to provide all documents and communications related to DOJ and IRS investigations into Hunter Biden as well as all records referring or relating to Patrick Kevin Morris by no later than April 4, 2024.
A CIA spokesperson declined to comment on the story and told the paper that CIA does not comment on specific investigations.
Unsurprisingly, leftist media have gone all quiet on the revelation, exhibiting their loyalty to the Democrats and DC establishment with censorship through silence. But a number of conservative outlets – like The Washington Times, National Review, BizPac Review etc. – reported the story off The New York Post.
Last summer, two whistleblowers from the IRS provided congressional testimony that blamed the DOJ for interfering into Hunter Biden’s tax crime probe in favor of the Biden. PBS cited Republican Jason Smith of the House Ways and Means Committee as:
“Whistleblowers describe how the Biden Justice Department intervened and overstepped in a campaign to protect the son of Joe Biden by delaying, divulging and denying an ongoing investigation into Hunter Biden’s alleged tax crimes.”
The DOJ denied those allegations.
In a related development, the House Judiciary Committee filed a lawsuit on Thursday against two DOJ officials for not complying with subpoenas regarding the Hunter Biden investigation. The Gateway Pundit named the two officials as Mark Daly, a senior litigation counsel, and Jack Morgan, a trial attorney in the DOJ’s Tax Division. Both defied their subpoenas for deposition. The story wrote that they were directed by their employer, the DOJ, not to appear:
By refusing to appear, Daly and Morgan are frustrating Congress’s ability to conduct oversight and investigate Executive Branch corruption—a critical part of Congress’s Article I powers.
