officials. republican leaders in the house sending a letter to secretary blinken stating it is apparent the biden campaign played an active role in the origins of the public statement that had the effect of helping suppress the hunter biden story and preventing american citizens from making a fully informed decision during the 2020 presidential election. dana: all this coming as an i.r.s. whistleblower is claiming political interference in the hunter biden tax investigation. senator tom cotton saying sooner or later the truth will come out about hunter and the family business. very troubling reports that the i.r.s. and the f.b.i. have been thwarted from investigating hunter biden s dealings, as you say are not about hunter biden. a very troubled by private citizen. the truth will come out and why you start to see whistleblowers come out. dana: joining us now is nancy mace who sits on the house oversight committee. one of the things if you watch the five and gutfeld an
