Virginia man filed an IRS complaint on Tuesday accusing a left-leaning national security non-profit of violating tax law by failing to disclose a business relationship between two of its board members—Hunter Biden and Sally Painter—and Burisma Holdings.
A copy of the Tax-Exempt Organization Complaint Form (Form 13909) which raises questions about the Truman National Security Project’s compliance with the Internal Revenue Code is embedded.
The complaint reads, in part: “Organization did not disclose existence of business relationship via a shared client and coordination with that client.”
The 13909 form was submitted to the IRS by Kurt Christensen, a 63-year-old tree farmer who is a former staffer on the Committee on Natural Resources in the U.S. House of Representatives.
“The National Security Project has a duty to review financial relationships among directors and disclose those relationships to the IRS. Biden and Painter served together on the Truman Board (each as Vice Chair) while both were financed by Burisma. During that time, under Biden and Painter’s supervision, Truman National Security Project engaged in activities to promote Obama administration efforts toward Ukraine and then conduct political activities against the Trump administration,” the complaint states.
Hunter Biden was tapped to sit on the Truman National Security Project’s board of directors in 2011, two years into his father’s term as vice president under Obama.
According to the Washington Free Beacon, Hunter was “at the time, one of just six members of the governing board, where he served alongside the organization’s founder and CEO, Rachel Kleinfeld, and a handful of corporate leaders.”
As in his other board appointments, Hunter Biden had no obvious qualifications for the position.
