消息来源:亨特·拜登告密者有望被任命为代理国税局局长
知情人士称，预计唐纳德·特朗普总统将任命调查亨特·拜登的美国国税局代理局长为国税局代理局长。
消息人士称，国税局举报者加里·沙普利(Gary Shapley)预计将领导该机构，至少在短期内，他曾指控乔·拜登总统领导下的司法部在长达一年的税务调查中给予他的儿子亨特·拜登特殊待遇。
“Gary是一名终身公务员，他在过去15年的职业生涯中一直为国税局服务。加里已经证明了他的诚实和对执法的忠诚，没有恐惧和偏袒，甚至不惜以自己的职业生涯为代价。在我们重新思考和改革这个至关重要的组织时，他将是国税局的一笔巨大财富，”财政部发言人告诉美国广播公司新闻。
三月份，财政部长斯科特·贝森特提升了沙普利作为高级顾问，他专注于国税局的刑事调查。

Hunter Biden whistleblower expected to be tapped as acting IRS chief: Sources
President Donald Trump is expected to name the Internal Revenue Service agent who investigated Hunter Biden as the acting head of the IRS, sources familiar with the matter said.
Gary Shapley, the IRS whistleblower who accused the Justice Department under President Joe Biden of granting his son, Hunter Biden, special treatment during a yearslong probe into his tax affairs, is expected to lead the agency -- at least in the short term, sources said.
"Gary is a long-tenured civil servant who has dedicated the last 15 years of his professional life to the IRS. Gary has proven his honesty and devotion to enforcing the law without fear or favor, even at great cost to his own career. He’ll be a great asset to the IRS as we rethink and reform this crucial organization," a spokesperson for the Treasury Department told ABC News.
In March, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessentpromoted Shapleyas a senior adviser, where he was focused on IRS criminal investigations.

Maryland Democrat Sen. Chris Van Hollen will travel to El Salvador on Wednesday to work to facilitate the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man who the Trump administration admits was mistakenly deported to El Salvador and is being held in the notorious prison CECOT.
Van Hollen made his announcement at a joint town hall with Congresswoman April McClain Delaney, telling constituents
"I don't even know if we announced this, but I am planning tomorrow to go to El Salvador to work to bring him home," Van Hollen said.
Van Hollen had requested a meeting with El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele during his visit to the White House on Monday. He has repeatedly called for the Trump administration to facilitate Abrego Garcia's release and return to the U.S.
In a video message on X on Friday, he said, "The family is traumatized. They’re worried of course minute to minute about what might happen to him in that notorious prison. The Trump administration needs to get him home."
Trump signs order to prevent undocumented migrants from accessing social security benefits
President Donald Trump signed a memorandum on Tuesday aimed at preventing undocumented migrants and other ineligible people from obtaining Social Security benefits.
The memorandum includes expanding the Social Security Administration’s fraud prosecutor program and creating a Medicare and Medicaid fraud prosecution program in 15 U.S. Attorney's Offices.
The memorandum also tasks the Social Security inspector general with investigating earning reports for those aged 100 or older with mismatched SSA records, to push back against identity theft.
Trump signs memorandum on using tech for environmental reviews
President Donald Trump signed a memorandum that directs the federal government to leverage "modern technology" to evaluate environmental reviews and permits, according to the fact sheet about the action.
The memo directs agencies to make such applications online, leaving behind paper copies, and to form a plan to digitize the review process.
The White House said that current environmental review and permitting processes are "inefficient, unpredictable, and counterproductive to the growth of the American economy."
Trump signs order on imported critical minerals, possible precursor to tariffs
President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order launching an investigation into the "national security risks posed by U.S. reliance on imported processed critical minerals and their derivative products," according to a fact sheet on the order.
The president has used Section 232 investigations as a precursor to implementing tariffs, as he did with aluminum and steel. On Monday, the White House acknowledged it had ongoing Section 232 investigations into pharmaceuticals and semiconductors.
The White House notes that critical minerals play an important role in our defense industrial base, and are required for everything from radar systems to jet engines, to secure communications.
However, the U.S. relies on foreign sources for many of these materials.
“Foreign producers have engaged in price manipulation, overcapacity, and arbitrary export restrictions, using their supply chain dominance as a tool for geopolitical and economic leverage over the United States,” The White House said in the fact sheet on the order.
The order calls on the secretary of commerce to submit a final report and recommendations to the president within 180 days of the investigation getting underway.
Trump signs order rescinding executive actions from Carter and Clinton
President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday rescinding two executive actions issued by former Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton that constrain federal office locations.
According to a fact sheet provided by the White House, Trump’s executive order allows "federal agencies to select office space and facilities based on cost-effectiveness, mission suitability, and the needs of the American people."
The administrator of the General Services Administration will be tasked with updating federal office space management regulations to conform with the order.
The White House argues in its fact sheet that by eliminating the executive actions from Carter and Clinton the Trump administration is making it easier to bring federal services to Americans.
Trump signs wide-ranging executive order aimed at lowering prescription drugs
Trump signed an executive order Tuesday aimed at lowering healthcare and prescription drug costs.
The order included a directive to improve the program for Medicare to negotiate drug prices, plans to create a program to get better prices for the most expensive drugs, including insulin and directed the FDA to approve state importation programs and approvals for generic drugs.
According to a fact sheet about the order, the government is looking to "eclipse the 22% in savings achieved" by the first year of Medicaid's program to negotiate drug prices. The order also says that the government plans to align the payment with what hospitals pay for them, which the White House says is sometimes "35% lower than what the government" pays.
The order also aims to standardize Medicare costs of drugs regardless of care facility, which the White House says can lower prices by as much as 60%.
Hegseth senior adviser placed on leave as part of leak investigation: Official
Dan Caldwell, a senior adviser to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, has been placed on administrative leave as part of a leak investigation, a U.S. official told ABC News on Tuesday.
Caldwell is a longtime adviser to Hegseth, long before he was named to be the secretary of defense, and was placed on leave following an "unauthorized disclosure," Reutersreported.
On March 21, Joe Kasper, the Defense Department’s chief of staff, directed the "Director for Defense Intelligence (Counterintelligence, Law Enforcement, and Security) to support OSD in leading an investigation into unauthorized disclosures of sensitive and classified information across the Department of Defense."
That memo authorized the use of polygraphs that will be inline with "applicable law and policy" for an investigation that he said would begin immediately.
It is unclear if Caldwell underwent a polygraph.
