Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: 'We're going to make sure it doesn't happen to anyone again, whether they're Republicans, Democrats, or independents'

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent joined Maria Bartiromo on Tuesday morning on FBN's Mornings with Maria.

During his segment, Secretary Bessent announced that the two IRS whistleblowers were promoted to leadership roles in the Treasury Department.
Finally, people of integrity and courage are being rewarded for their actions.

IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley, and Joseph Ziegler, testified on the government prosecutors' preferential treatment of Hunter Biden. The two men stepped forward in 2023 and testified that Hunter Biden did not pay taxes on millions of dollars in international money schemes and was given a sweetheart deal from far-left investigators.

Shapley said Biden-appointed US Attorneys blocked charges against Hunter Biden. Gary Shapley said two Biden-appointed US Attorneys blocked charges against the president's son, Hunter Biden.

These two men later told Catherine Herridge in a 2024 interview that the IRS targets conservatives and helps to hide evidence for Democrats.

"We knew that the laptop was real. The DOJ knew that the laptop was real." The first whistleblower added, "The FBI knew the laptop was real." Whistleblower Two explained, "There were a lot of overt actions that we were not allowed to take because we had an upcoming election."

"When we were doing the interviews, the prosecutors specifically said that we were not allowed to ask about 'the big guy' because they knew it was Joe Biden."

The "Big Guy" refers to kickbacks going to Joe Biden from the family's illicit business dealings with foreign officials.

Herridge then asks the whistleblowers to reveal how they've been punished for revealing what they saw taking place at the IRS.

Their answers were stunning. After they went public about the Biden family's corruption and how top Biden officials were ignoring their wrongdoing, they continued to be targeted in their department.

On Tuesday, Secretary Scott Bessent made national news by announcing that the IRS whistleblowers were being moved to leadership positions.
Honesty and integrity matter to the Trump administration.
