For years, Donald Trump fought tooth and nail to block the Democrats from getting their hands on his tax returns.
Recently, the Supreme Court refused to block the IRS from sending the tax returns over to the House committee requesting them.
When that happened, I took the low end of the over/under when his tax returns would be leaked.
Little did I know, another billionaire would beat him to the punch.
Griffin Files Suit
Billionaire investor Ken Griffin, the founder and CEO of multinational hedge fund Citadel, is going after the IRS.
His tax returns were recently leaked to the media, as were those of other billionaires.
This included the returns of Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos.
His suit claims that the IRS and Treasury “willfully failed to establish appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to insure the security and confidentiality” of the tax returns.
Griffin, in a publicly released statement, said, “IRS employees deliberately stole the confidential tax returns of several hundred successful American business leaders.
“It is unacceptable that government officials have failed to thoroughly investigate this unlawful theft of confidential and personal information.
“Americans expect our government to uphold the laws of our nation when it comes to our private and personal information — whether it be tax returns or health care records.”
