Appearing on Fox News, Rep. Greg Steube highlighted the contradiction of Hunter Biden suing the IRS.
Joe Biden had earmarked $80 billion in funding and bolstered the organization by adding 87,000 agents. The purpose of this was to guarantee tax compliance among the wealthy.
It turns out that the multi-millionaire Biden family hasn’t been paying its taxes. Bank records show nine members of the Biden family have received $20 million in unexplained wire transfers from foreign nationals.

Hunter Biden has been under investigation by the IRS, and he’s now suing the agency for “targeting” and “embarrassing” him.
Hunter is certainly correct that the situation is “embarrassing” because it puts his disgraceful and illegal acts on display for the American public.
Fox News host host Dagen McDowell said, “Congressman, this, though, it does shine a light on what Republicans have said about the IRS all along and the 87,000 new agents, the $80 billion in new funding for the IRS. Hunter Biden, with this lawsuit, is essentially proving y’all’s point.”
U.S. Rep Greg Steube responded, “Yeah. You put 87,000 more IRS agents out there, and you’re going to — they’re going to be going after conservatives and it’s the weaponization of the DOJ.”
“And, again, this is the same — the Democrats are the ones that made Trump’s tax returns public, and there wasn’t — he wasn’t involved in some type of criminal investigation for some type of tax fraud, where you have Hunter Biden, who has committed tax fraud.”
“The IRS investigators will admit that. And there’s [money he owes] the federal government that we’ll never be able to recoup because a weaponized DOJ stalled for long enough so the statute of limitations would [expire], and they wouldn’t have to charge him for that crime,” he concluded.
