The US president’s son is currently at the centre of a political maelstrom.
WASHINGTON: President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden sued the US Internal Revenue Service today, alleging unlawful disclosure of his taxes by whistleblowers who work for the US tax agency.
Hunter Biden, 53, is at the centre of a political maelstrom, as House Republicans mount an impeachment inquiry against his father focused on alleged ties between his business practices and his father’s policies during his father’s tenure as vice-president from 2009 to 2017. Prosecutors last week charged him with three counts related to the fact that he was lying about using illegal drugs when he bought a firearm.
Today’s lawsuit refers to “more than 20 nationally televised and non-congressionally sanctioned interviews and numerous public statements” by Shapley, Ziegler and their lawyers about Hunter Biden.
