JUST DAYS AFTER FEDERAL FIREARM CHARGES WERE FILED AGAINST HIM — HUNTER BIDEN IS NOW SUING THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE.
THE SON OF PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN SAYS THAT TWO I-R-S AGENTS VIOLATED HIS RIGHT TO PRIVACY AFTER PUBLICLY RELEASING HIS TAX INFORMATION.
IN THE LAWSUIT FILED ON MONDAY — BIDEN ALLEGES HIS PERSONAL TAX DETAILS SHARED DURING CONGRESSIONAL HEARINGS AND INTERVIEWS WAS NOT ALLOWED UNDER FEDERAL WHISTLEBLOWER PROTECTIONS.
THE LAWSUIT CALLS OUT TWO I–R-S AGENTS– GARY SHAPLEY AND JOSEPH ZIEGLER AND THEIR ATTORNEYS — FOR ALLEGEDLY ENGAGING IN A CAMPAIGN TO SMEAR HUNTER BIDEN.
THE LAWSUIT ALLEGES THAT THE IRS AGENTS REPEATEDLY AND INTENTIONALLY — PUBLICLY SHARED HIS TAX INFORMATION IN MORE THAN TWENTY TELEVISED INTERVIEWS AS THEY INVESTIGATE HIM.
HUNTER BIDEN IS ASKING A COURT TO AWARD HIM ONE-THOUSAND DOLLARS IN DAMAGES FOR EACH DISCLOSURE.
HUNTER BIDEN WAS INDICTED LAST THURSDAY ON FEDERAL FIREARM CHARGES STEMMING FROM ALLEGATIONS THAT HE LIED ABOUT HIS DRUG USE TO BUY AND HANDLE A GUN IN OCTOBER OF 2018. THIS COULD LEAD TO A HIGH-STAKES TRIAL IN 2024 AS HIS FATHER, PRESIDENT BIDEN, RUNS FOR RE-ELECTION.
WHILE THE LAWSUIT AGAINST THE I-R-S ALLEGES WRONGDOING — HUNTER BIDEN’S ATTORNEYS SAY THIS LAWSUIT IS NOT QUESTIONING THE LEGITIMACY OF THE INVESTIGATION INTO HIM.
