Hunter Biden and his lawyers filed a lawsuit Monday morning claiming that IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joe Ziegler violated his privacy rights as a taxpayer —yes, really.
From Newsmax:
In July, IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joe Ziegler alleged in a House committee hearing that President Joe Biden’s Justice Department effectively obstructed and minimized its criminal investigation into Hunter Biden’s tax crimes.
Monday’s lawsuit says that while Hunter Biden has “all the same responsibilities as any other American citizen,” he also “has no fewer or lesser rights than any other American citizen, and no government agency or government agent has free reign to violate his rights simply because of who he is,” the Washington Post reported.
Hunter Biden charges that Shapley and Ziegler, when they went to Congress and news organizations, disclosed information about the investigation and Hunter Biden’s taxes that the law aims to keep secret.
“This assault on Mr. Biden’s rights involved the public disclosure of his confidential tax information during more than 20 nationally televised and non-congressionally sanctioned interviews and numerous public statements,” the lawsuit states, the Post reported.
