IRS in political storm over Trump-era audits

The IRS is at the center of a political storm over audits conducted on former FBI director James Comey and former deputy director Andrew McCabe.

Both had high profile fights with former President Trump, and the rare audits were conducted on Trump’s watch under the Trump-appointed IRS commissioner Charles Rettig.

Lawmakers on Thursday were calling for a full investigation into whether the high-profile Trump adversaries had been illegally targeted, and if so, how.
