IRS Update

The Internal Revenue Service inspector general is disputing a major claim made by the agency's new acting director. The director, Danny Werfel, told lawmakers that IRS' tax exempt unit held up both liberal and conservative groups applying for tax-free status. But IG Russell George said only a fraction of liberal applicants were held up, while 100 percent of conservative applications were delayed. The counter accusations came during a House Ways and Means Committee hearing. Democrats on the committee are criticizing George for his original report, which left out details about the scrutiny of progressive groups.
