“It really doesn’t come down to his credibility, whether you believe him or not, because the things he’s been through are very well documented in emails, and other communications with the Department of Justice,” Lytle told CBS News at the time. Lytle informed a group of committee leaders last week that the whistleblower already made disclosures to inspectors general at the Justice and Treasury departments and would like guidance on submitting information to Congress. “As we have said, Empower Oversight will fight any retaliation against our client tooth and nail, along with our co-counsel, Mark Lytle.” “The real test is what the Commissioner actually does to put a stop to whistleblower reprisals,” Leavitt said. Tristan Leavitt, president of Empower Oversight, a watchdog group working with the whistleblower, told The Post, “We welcome these positive comments, but it’s easy to say the right thing in front of the cameras.” Chairman, while I can’t comment on a specific case, I can say without any hesitation there will be no retaliation for anyone making an allegation or a call to a whistleblower hotline,” the IRS commissioner replied. “Can you commit that there will be no retaliation against that whistleblower?” Smith asked Werfel. Jason Smith (R-Mo.), the committee’s chairman, asked about the whistleblower - who supervised the Hunter Biden case for three years before informing key lawmakers through an attorney last week that he wants to unveil “preferential treatment” and alleged false testimony to Congress by Attorney General Merrick Garland. Werfel declined to comment specifically on the longtime IRS worker who anonymously came forward but gave broad assurances at a hearing of the House Ways and Means Committee.
