Newly released documents from whistleblowers have revealed that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) intervened to prevent IRS investigators from interviewing Hunter Biden’s lawyer and benefactor, Kevin Morris. The involvement of the CIA was brought to light by IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, who provided details to the House Ways and Means Committee.
According to the documents, the CIA’s intervention occurred when IRS investigators were preparing to interview Patrick Kevin Morris, an associate of Hunter Biden. The agency reportedly informed Department of Justice officials that Morris could not be a witness in the investigation. Despite efforts by the IRS whistleblowers to request more information from the CIA, they were ultimately denied a briefing on the matter.

This development raises questions about why the CIA became involved in the case, how they were aware of the IRS’s plans to interview Morris, and who within the agency issued the directive. The lack of transparency surrounding the CIA’s actions has led to speculation about potential motives behind their intervention.
Critics have raised concerns about the implications of the CIA’s interference in an ongoing investigation, suggesting that it may have broader implications for national security or intelligence matters. The refusal to allow Morris to be interviewed as a witness has drawn scrutiny from those seeking clarity on the situation.
Editorial: The CIA’s involvement in obstructing the investigation into Hunter Biden raises red flags about potential political interference and the need for accountability within government agencies. Conservatives are right to demand transparency and answers regarding the agency’s actions in this case. It is essential that we uphold the rule of law and ensure that all individuals are held accountable, regardless of their connections or affiliations.
