Excerpt:
On Friday, two whistleblowers from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) filed a lawsuit against Hunter Biden’s lawyer, Abbe Lowell, for defamation.
As reported by the Daily Caller, the lawsuit was fired by whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, who first came forward with claims that the Biden-Harris Administration’s Department of Justice (DOJ) was giving preferential treatment to the president’s son during the investigation into his tax crimes.
In the new lawsuit, the whistleblowers allege that Lowell caused “incredible and malicious harm” by making numerous defamatory statements. The plaintiffs are seeking a total of $20 million in damages, with $10 million for each of them.
“It is particularly ironic and damaging that a well-known attorney like Lowell — in his words, ‘one of the country’s foremost white collar defense and trial lawyers’ that is ‘widely viewed as counsel of choice for individuals facing government investigations and potential indictments’— has chosen to falsely accuse these special agents of criminal behavior,” the lawsuit states.
“Lowell’s stature and credibility in the legal community have amplified the harm caused by his defamatory statements,” the complaint continues. “Lowell’s malicious and false allegations, including accusations that Shapley and Ziegler ‘committed felonies’ and ‘violated the law,’ were published to third parties, including the media, and have severely harmed their professional and personal reputations.”
