“President Trump is removing Billy Long from his job leading the Internal Revenue Service just two months after he was confirmed as commissioner,” the New York Times reports.
“Mr. Long, a former Republican congressman and staunch ally of Mr. Trump, is expected to be nominated to an ambassadorship, the people said. It is unclear who will next lead the IRS, which has had six different people in charge this year.”
The Senate spent weeks confirming Long, who had no qualifications for the job. And he was pushed out almost immediately.
