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.
In February, Biden gave Muñoz a shout-out before even acknowledging Gov. Hochul was in the room during a glitzy fundraiser at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Columbus Circle.
“Henry Muñoz, my old buddy, thank you for all you’ve done for me for a long, long time,” said Biden.
Muñoz currently sits alongside Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Illinois Sen. Tammy Duckworth, and Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party head Ken Martin as one of the DNC’s four vice-chairs.
