Senators Probe IRS Whistleblower’s Accusations

November 18, 2019 · 1:04 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“Two Senators are probing a whistleblower’s allegations that at least one political appointee at the Treasury Department may have tried to interfere with the audit of President Trump or Vice President Pence,” the Washington Post reports.

“Staff for Sens. Charles Grassley (R-IA) and Ron Wyden (D-OR), the chair and ranking Democrat on the Senate finance committee, met with the IRS whistleblower earlier this month… Follow-up interviews are being scheduled to further explore the whistleblower’s allegations.”
