Hunter Biden, US President Joe Biden's son, has filed a lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), alleging its agents "targeted and sought to embarrass" him by discussing his tax returns.

"Biden has no fewer or lesser rights than any other American citizen, and no government agency or government agent has free reign to violate his rights simply because of who he is," the lawsuit says.
