CONGRESSMAN GAETZ RESPONDS TO JOE BIDEN'S NOMINATION OF HAMPTON DELLINGER TO LEAD UNITED STATES OFFICE OF SPECIAL COUNSEL 

Washington, D.C. — U.S. Congressman Matt Gaetz (FL-01) released the following statement in response to Joe Biden's nomination of Hampton Dellinger to lead the United States Office of Special Counsel (OSC).

"Joe Biden nominated Hampton Dellinger, a former colleague and law partner of Hunter Biden, to lead the United States Office of Special Counsel (OSC) yesterday, a top federal watchdog tasked with protecting our nation's civil servants from political targeting.

While Joe Biden tries to convince America that there was zero influence between him and Hunter’s business deals, he appoints a close friend of Hunter to protect the Biden Crime Family from accountability.
 
As both the House and Senate have called on the OSC to investigate the Biden administration's retaliation against IRS whistleblowers, who have accused AG Garland and DOJ of burying probes into Hunter Biden's alleged crimes, Dellinger should withdraw his nomination. 

If confirmed by the Senate, Dellinger's appointment would send a chilling message to civil servants everywhere: you are not protected, and you will continue to be targeted by the Bidens if you look into the real crimes committed by the President's family."
