According to reports, an IRS whistleblower claimed in congressional testimony that Hunter Biden deducted tens of thousands of dollars in payments to prostitutes and a sex club from his taxes.
An IRS criminal investigator who worked on the Hunter Biden tax fraud investigation said Biden attempted to write off the payments as business expenses to avoid taxes.
The whistleblower, whose identity remains unknown, reportedly said in a June 1 interview with the House Ways and Means Committee that the illegal deductions were in 2018.

The New York Post reports:
“So some of the items that he deducted were personal no-show employees. He deducted payments that were made to who he called his West Coast assistant, but she was essentially a prostitute,” the whistleblower, who worked on the agency’s investigation into alleged tax fraud perpetrated by President Biden’s son on his 2018 return, alleged in his testimony.
Another whistleblower, IRS supervisory agent Gary Shapley, told the committee on May 26 that he found several instances of Hunter improperly expensing flights for prostitutes.
“There were multiple examples of prostitutes that were ordered basically, and we have all the communications between that where he would pay for these prostitutes, would book them a flight where even the flight ticket showed their name. And then he expensed those,” Shapley said in his testimony, adding that they were expensed to the 53-year-old’s consulting firm, Owasco PC.
The whistleblowers also found that Hunter expensed a deposit for an elite Los Angeles sex club membership by listing it as a golf membership.

As The Washington Free Beacon noted, Hunter Biden’s illegal payments may also implicate him for federal sex trafficking crimes.
Payments like the ones described, doled out to prostitutes and sex clubs, were not just unlawful tax deductions but also may have been violations of federal sex trafficking laws, the whistleblower alleged, if the prostitutes crossed state lines. And the IRS had indeed located records showing that Biden flew prostitutes across state lines, “paying for their travel, paying for their hotels.”
According to the IRS investigator, a self-described Democrat, Biden underreported his total income in 2018 by $267,000, resulting in an underpayment of $106,000 in taxes. “That includes deductions for personal wages and salaries paid, personal travel expenses paid, personal children expenses that he paid, and personal other expenses that he paid,” the investigator said, according to a transcript of the interview released Thursday.
Yet, the Department of Justice gave Hunter Biden a cushy plea deal that won’t result in any prison time.
A two-tiered justice system before our eyes.
