Biden, Obama pal and top Dem fundraiser owed millions in back taxes while dishing out tens of thousands to Harris: records

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.

In February, Biden gave Muñoz a shout-out before even acknowledging Gov.

Muñoz is confident that a successful resolution will be reached.” Public records show Muñoz’s company, MSTZO LLC — the same one slapped with a lien in Texas — paid Coffey’s firm $60,000 last year to lobby HHS and Congress on the Medicaid waiver, and another $60,000 to lobby Albany on medical marijuana licensing.

“Henry Muñoz, my old buddy, thank you for all you’ve done for me for a long, long time,” said Biden.

But big income for Muñoz and his pass-through consulting company MSTZO LLC has come with massive tax bills.

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.
