Internal Revenue Service whistleblower Gary Shapley defended his claims that Hunter Biden got special treatment from the Department of Justice in an interview on Fox News' "Special Report." 

Shapley, a 14-year veteran of the agency, has come forward with accusations that prosecutors put an investigation into Hunter Biden's finances "on the back burner" as the 2020 election approached. He also claims serious felony charges that could have been laid against Biden "were left on the table." 

"Between April and June 2020 we drafted an affidavit to execute a search warrant at a couple different locations and the prosecutors at the time stated that probable cause had been achieved but as we moved closer to the election, it just seemed like they kept putting it on the back burner, and they didn't allow us to do that search warrant, even though the legal requirements to execute the search warrant were met," Shapley said. 

This is a developing story and will be updated.
