U.S. Attorney named in Hunter Biden IRS whistleblower testimony to resign | 30 Dec 2024 | Matthew Graves, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia whose name surfaced in testimony by IRS whistleblowers about political interference in the Hunter Biden tax case, will resign in early January, the Department of Justice confirmed Monday. Graves featured in the testimony of whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, the IRS agents who went public about alleged political interference by Biden-appointed officials in the Hunter Biden tax probe. When then-Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss sought to bring charges in D.C., Graves declined to partner with him on the case, according to the whistleblowers' testimony. That declination was among the key points the whistleblowers addressed in contradicting Attorney General Merrick Garland's statements that Weiss had full authority to pursue charges against Biden.
