Mr. Shapley provided emails and messages to support crucial portions of his account, which was backed up by a second I.R.S.
The New York Times has also independently confirmed a key allegation made by Mr. Shapley: that prosecutors in California denied a request from Mr. Weiss to pursue charges against Hunter Biden in that state.
He also denied that the elder Mr. Biden or his staff “in any way” assisted Mr. Zlochevsky.
Republicans produced no proof that the elder Mr. Biden accepted payments from foreign businesses or that he took any action as a result of Hunter Biden’s overseas work.
Speaker Kevin McCarthy has pledged to add Mr. Garland to the list if Republicans determine that he lied about Mr. Weiss’s authority in the Hunter Biden investigation.
