Ways and Means chair calls for de-weaponization, overhaul of IRS after 'lawless' behavior
Fox News
FIRST ON FOX: Ways & Means Chair Jason Smith calls for an overhaul of the IRS, demanding it be de-weaponized, and telling Fox News Digital that “business as usual at the IRS is unacceptable."
Brooke Singman is a political correspondent and reporter for Fox News Digital, Fox News Channel and FOX Business.
"The story of the last two years at the IRS is one of both failure and outright weaponization of the agency driven in part by the Democrats’ decision to prioritize hiring 87,000 new IRS agents to audit working families over providing basic customer services," Smith told Fox News Digital. "There are too many examples of problems at the IRS to count."
In the letter, exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital, Smith lays out concerns at the agency, including its alleged retaliation against the two IRS whistleblowers, Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, who brought claims of corruption and preferential treatment for Hunter Biden.
