The whistleblower “Agent X,” identified as Democrat and career IRS agent Joseph Ziegler, appeared on CBS News before his testimony to Congress on Wednesday to give his account of the Department of Justice’s preferential treatment of Joe and Hunter Biden.
Ziegler, a 13-year career veteran of the IRS, sat down with CBS News’ Catherine Herridge to detail his role in the Hunter Biden investigation, which spanned both the Trump and Biden administrations.
“Any time we potentially wanted to go down the road of asking questions related to the president, it was, ‘That’s gonna take too much approvals. We can’t ask those questions,’” Ziegler said. “It created an environment that was very hard to deal with.”
“When you’re prevented from going down certain roads, I guess I don’t know what could have been found if we were not hamstrung or not handcuffed.”

“I’m a Democrat. In the last presidential election, I actually did not vote,” he continued. “I thought it would be irresponsible of me to do so because I didn’t wanna show bias one way or the other.”
