Donors Just Paid Off Debt of Trump’s Nominee for IRS

“President Donald Trump’s choice for Internal Revenue Service director just had his six-figure debt paid off by campaign donors whose firms have significant, often contentious business before the tax agency he would lead,” The Lever reports. 

“The revelations come as lawmakers call for a criminal probe of how tax credits were used by these donors’ firms — many of which have previous ties to former Rep. Billy Long (R-MO), Trump’s IRS nominee whose confirmation is pending in the Senate.”
