Lawmakers will question IRS head regarding a report from the New York Times last week that showed two former top FBI officials, who were critical of former President Donald Trump, had been audited by the agency:
Internal Revenue Service Commissioner Charles Rettig prepares to testify on the IRS budget before the Senate Finance Committee on April 7. On Thursday he'll face questions from a House committee on why the IRS audited two former FBI leaders who investigated Donald Trump's 2016 campaign. New York Times
"We are working on getting to the bottom of these stunning allegations," House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Rep. Richard Neal, D-Mass., said in a statement. "Reporting that former FBI Director James Comey and former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe were audited by the IRS has raised serious concerns about the possibility that former President Trump encouraged the IRS to investigate his perceived enemies," Wyden said in a statement provided to NPR.
Gray-Fenner says these kinds of audits can be invasive. But the process is determined by an algorithm. And while it can seem like slim odds that both Comey and McCabe could be randomly selected — thesaid 1 in 30,600 — the pool taxpayers the IRS selected from was already small, Gray-Fenner said.
