The CIA has denied a whistleblower allegation that the company “intervened within the investigation of Hunter biden to stop the Inside Income Service (IRS) and the Division of Justice (DOJ) from interviewing a witness,” in line with a response issued to Home Republicans on Friday.
In keeping with the whistleblower, in August 2021, the IRS wished to interview Hunter Biden affiliate (who loaned Hunter $6.5 million), Patrick Kevin Morris – and that “the CIA intervened to cease the interview.“
“Two DOJ officers had been allegedly summoned to CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia for a briefing relating to Mr. Morris,” at which “it was communicated that Mr. Morris couldn’t be a witness in the course of the investigation.”
CIA Denies
Two weeks later, the CIA has responded in a letter to Home Oversight Chair James Comer and Home Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (‘obtained first’ by CNN).
“With out confirming or denying the existence of any associations or communications, CIA didn’t stop or search to stop IRS or DOJ from conducting any such interview. The allegation is fake,” CIA Director of Congressional Affairs, James A. Catella, wrote to the Chairs.
Home Republicans push again
In response to the response, Home Judiciary Committee spokesman Russell Dye instructed CNN “The allegation isn’t false.”
In a Friday submit to X following the CNN report, the Home Judiciary GOP mentioned “The CIA is improper. However what’s new?”

Raskin POUNCES
Following the CIA’s reply, the highest Democrat on the Home Oversight Committee, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) slammed the Republicans for not sharing their supply.
“It is a severe cost, however you’ve fully ignored my employees’s requests to be allowed to evaluation the data that you just say prompted your letter and upon which your letter is putatively and fully based mostly,” Raskin wrote to Comer on Friday.
Republicans have raised questions over Morris’ loans to Hunter Biden, which Morris claims has nothing to do with President Joe Biden..
