The irony of a Republican named "Jim JUSTICE" ducking the I.R.S. MULTIPLE TIMES over $5.1 million in owed taxes

The Internal Revenue Service filed a lawsuit against West Virginia Senator and former Governor Jim Justice, a Republican, on Monday over a $5 million tax bill that Justice has not paid, according to a new report.

Local news station WKBN in West Virginia reported that the Justices had been contacted "multiple times" by the Treasury Department regarding more than $5.1 million in taxes that the family has owed since 2009.

The lawsuit claims the Justices have “neglected or refused to make full payment" on the debt, according to the report.

It adds that Justice and his wife must pay any debts that the court "deems just and proper.”
