The IRS removed the "entire investigative team" that was in charge of overseeing a criminal investigation into Hunter Biden, one month after a whistleblower came forward to Congress to allege the investigation was being mishandled, according to a new report.

The Justice Department reportedly ordered the team's removal, according to the New York Post.

An IRS criminal supervisory special agent came forward to Congress in April seeking whistleblower protection to share with lawmakers information that allegedly showed the investigation into potential tax crimes by the younger Biden was being mishandled.

Now, the whistleblower's attorneys claim the team's removal from the investigation is retaliation for his decision to come forward.

"Today the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Criminal Supervisory Special Agent we represent was informed that he and his entire investigative team are being removed from the ongoing and sensitive investigation of the high-profile, controversial subject about which our client sought to make whistleblower disclosures to Congress. He was informed the change was at the request of the Department of Justice," attorneys Mark Lytle and Tristan Leavitt wrote to Congress.
