Republican senators are questioning the IRS about its audit of a watchdog organization that has released reports on multiple Biden nominees to key federal positions.
Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) and Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) sent a letter to IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel on Thursday asking for answers about the agency’s investigation into the American Accountability Foundation (AAF), a nonprofit watchdog that has reported on several President Joe Biden’s nominees who were later withdrawn from consideration.
“The IRS is once again harassing conservative groups. It should be no surprise to see Joe Biden borrowing directly from the Obama playbook,” Vance posted on X, sharing the letter to Werfel.
