West Virginia Senator Jim Justice says IRS owes him $38 million

West Virginia's junior U.S. Senator, Jim Justice, says the IRS owes him more than $30 million. Justice told WVVA he paid hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes stemming from a 2008 or 2009 transaction with Russians. He says he believes he overpaid and is owed more than $38 million.

The Republican senator indicated the IRS determined he owed an additional $500,000, which grew to over $5 million in obligations over time.

"I'm okay with them saying that but they owe me $38 million dollars. And everybody we've ever had working on this believes that wholeheartedly."
