On the recordJuly 24, 2014
For over a year, the Ways and Means Committee has led an investigation into the IRS targeting conservative individuals for their beliefs. We found that the IRS subjected Americans to harassment, going so far as to question the content of their prayers and their political beliefs, subjecting them to audits, and leaking their personal taxpayer information. They worked on rules behind closed doors that would restrict the rights of groups to organize, to speak out, and to educate the public. They destroyed over 2 years' worth of emails, emails that are key to the investigation. The IRS has spent years denying, delaying, and obstructing. The American people deserve some answers, and I am committed to ensuring they know the truth of what really happened at the IRS. ____________________
