Hunter Biden Sues Father's Administration Amid Ongoing Investigations

Writer's picture: Capitol TimesCapitol Times

In a dramatic turn of events, Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, has filed a lawsuit against his father's administration and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The younger Biden, who was recently indicted on three gun charges and is still facing potential tax charges, argues that IRS agents have "targeted and sought to embarrass" him.


CANVA PRO

Lawsuit Background


Hunter Biden specifically targets IRS agents Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, claiming that they are conducting a campaign to "publicly smear him." Both Shapley and Ziegler previously blew the whistle to Congress, outlining what they saw as biased handling of Hunter Biden's case.

The lawsuit accuses the IRS of "willfully, knowingly, and/or by gross negligence" disclosing his confidential tax information. He is seeking $1,000 for each unauthorized disclosure. Hunter Biden alleges that the IRS has violated his rights, and he decries the presumption that the rights applicable to every other American citizen "do not apply to Mr. Biden."


Public Response and Implications

The lawsuit has generated immediate controversy and debate. Critics find it ironic that Hunter Biden is suing his father's administration, particularly given that tax charges against him have yet to move forward. Others note that the lawsuit could create awkward optics for President Biden's reelection campaign.


Legal Road Ahead

While Hunter Biden's attorneys have adopted an aggressive stance following the collapse of his plea deal, the lawsuit faces an uphill battle. The whistleblower testimony to Congress already outlines the IRS agents' concerns, making it difficult for Hunter Biden to claim unjust bias or violation of his rights without substantive evidence.


Time for IRS Review?

The lawsuit has triggered some to suggest that maybe it's time to scrutinize the practices of the IRS more broadly. Although the current focus is on the individual players involved in Hunter Biden's case, the broader implications for American tax policy and governmental transparency are looming in the background.

As the legal proceedings continue to unfold, this unprecedented lawsuit is sure to remain a topic of national interest, raising questions about not only the specifics of Hunter Biden's case but also broader concerns about governmental agencies and the rights of citizens.
