After suing IRS whistleblowers, claiming they unlawfully exposed his tax information, Hunter Biden has dropped his case.
The former president’s son — known for his infamous laptop, which exposed the Bidens’ shady overseas business deals — sued the IRS in September 2023. The suit specifically focused on Special Agents Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, alleging they exposed Biden’s tax information when blowing the whistle on preferential treatment by the DOJ, as The Federalist’s Margot Cleveland previously reported. On April 30 Biden moved to drop the case “with prejudice,” meaning it is permanently closed.
“It’s always been clear that the lawsuit was an attempt to intimidate us. However, we were always motivated by doing the right thing, defending our work, and honoring our duty to the American people,” Shapley and Ziegler wrote in a press release the same day. “Intimidation and retaliation were never going to work.”
