Honorable Mike Johnson

Speaker of the House of Representatives
H-232, The Capitol
Washington, D.C. 20515

Speaker Johnson:

Pending in federal district court for the District of Columbia is No. 1:23-cv-0271, before Judge Kelly, is the
civil action Robert Hunter Biden v. Internal Revenue Service. Due to federal law, this is the only available action of
Hunter Biden and the Democrats to silence the I.R.S. whistleblowers who have so bravely come forward with
details of Hunter Biden’s tax fraud. The interests of the House of Representatives and the legal rights of our
whistleblowers are not being zealously defended by the United States Department of Justice (DOJ), who is
defending the lawsuit on behalf of the I.R.S.

We should be doing everything we can to protect these brave whistleblowers. As a result, pursuant to House
Rule 8(c) and 2 U.S.C. § 5571, I respectfully request that you task the House Office of General Counsel with
moving to intervene in Biden v. IRS to protect the prerogatives of the House of Representatives and to protect
the rights of all Americans to make protected disclosures to Congress.

Attached, please find the complaint by Hunter Biden, as well as the partial motion to dismiss of the DOJ. A
cursory read of these materials should make clear to the House Office of General Counsel that the rights of
the House are implicated in this case and not being adequately represented to the Court by the DOJ. To give
but example among many: the complaint takes an extremely narrow read of Internal Revenue Code § 6103’s
whistleblower provisions, a read which DOJ does not contest. The House clearly has an interest in the
broadest possible read of the subject matter that an individual may properly disclose to committees of
Congress.

Sincerely,

Matt Gaetz
Member of Congress
