A Democratic darling and top fundraiser who had President Biden preside over his nuptials has dished out tens of thousands of dollars to Kamala Harris and other candidates — while the IRS was coming after him for millions in unpaid taxes, The Post has learned.

Henry Muñoz, the finance chairman emeritus of the Democratic National Committee, had a whopping $3,497,319 federal income tax lien placed against him in April 2023, IRS records show, along with a $152,411.46 business tax warrant in his home state of Texas.

That hasn’t stopped Muñoz, 64, from splashing out out six figures to his fellow Democrats for the 2024 elections

The powerbroker gave a $6,600 max-out donation to the Biden/Harris — now Harris/Walz — campaign; $37,686.45 to the DNC; and $62,400 to assorted Democratic candidates for House and Senate, including Tom Suozzi (D-Long Island), Rep. Pat Ryan (D-Ulster County), and former Congressman Mondaire Jones.

Muñoz served as President Barack Obama’s handpicked lead fundraiser and was among the top 2020 bundlers for Biden, amassing more than $200,000 on the Democrat’s behalf.

In 2017, Biden personally officiated Muñoz’ marriage to Kaia Ferari. In 2022, Biden held a cash bash for Democrats at Muñoz’ $7.3 million Park Avenue condo, which reportedly raised more than $2 million.

He rakes in big bucks from his only documented source of income: $51 million for “consulting services” over the course of five years with a Medicaid-funded nonprofit called SOMOS Community Care, a Bronx-based network of private doctors’ offices catering to low-income patients.***

Campaign disclosures show SOMOS employees pumped more than $1 million into the Harris Victory Fund, with most of the gifts arriving around the time of the February fundraiser, which SOMOS brass hosted. ***

“Consulting Services” Nice work if you can get it.

Paying taxes is for the little people.

A Republican who did something like this would probably be in a lot of trouble.

It would an existential threat to democracy. The worst thing to happen to this country since January 6th.

He's paying! It just is going directly to the Democratic leadership. So no tax issue for you, well until we no longer need you.....

Think about it, if the Democratics did not have results to sell, then who would donate to them? So donate and you are OK until you don't donate or are a liability!

Be seeing you Number 6.......

...Biden preside over his nuptials...

...with another dood. Who says Brandon can't be bribed?

[Revel]

An even bigger story would be where he himself is getting the money to pay the left. Could be some kind of money laundering going on.

[minnesota_bound]

It looks like Biden and Harris are criminals.
The media companies will be all over this....

TYPICAL DEMOCRAT!!

“Medicaid-funded nonprofit”
This is the major problem. They fight us using our money.

[Sirius Lee]

Cheaper to buy off a cheap politician than to pay millions to the IRS.

[SaveFerris]

The whole Democratic Party seems to be a criminal enterprise.

I don’t know who originally said that, but wow, what an article.
