Joseph Ziegler told Fox News on Friday night that he felt Hunter Biden should have been criminally prosecuted for tax evasion, arguing that the businessman was willful in his avoidance.
Ziegler was known as 'Mr X' until he testified publicly before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday alongside his boss, Gary Shapley. Ziegler and Shapley were part of the team investigating Hunter Biden's tax affairs, and both felt that the controversial businessman was not prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Ziegler said that he felt there was no chance of a fair charging decision until there were independent people appointed to oversee the case, in Washington DC. 'If there are other charges that are viewed outside the District of Delaware. David Weiss is going to run into the same problem again and again,' he said, referring to the U.S. attorney for Delaware, who Ziegler said was blocked from pursuing charges.
Weiss has denied that he was restricted, but Shapley and Ziegler said he was. 'And that's why we need to have an independent attorney assigned who has authority, who can go in there, bring the proper charges, so that there can be some faith restored in our justice system,' Ziegler said.
