Hunter Biden Vs. IRS Agents

According to the source, Hunter Biden sued the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) because two of its agents, Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, targeted and sought to embarrass him by disclosing personal information about his private tax matters to the media. The lawsuit contends- that two IRS agents and their attorneys raised the stakes to unprecedented levels with their numerous public appearances and statements that violated Sec. 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code by engaging in a campaign to publicly smear Hunter Biden.

The lawsuit states, “How can you embarrass Hunter Biden with his tax returns when he managed to embarrass himself?” Hunter Biden has no fewer rights than any other American citizen and no government agency has free reign to violate his rights because of who he is. Hunter Biden has done it embarrassing himself. How could the IRS whistleblowers embarrass Biden’s tax case, if he already embarrassed himself?

The lawsuit claims that two IRS agents unlawfully revealed Hunter Biden’s tax return information and violated the Privacy Act as the IRS failed to put safeguards in place to keep the information confidential. Hunter Biden wanted the court to declare the IRS unlawfully revealed his tax information and award him $1,000 in damages for each unauthorized disclosure.
