Sen. Joni Ernst: ‘I Want to Audit the IRS’ to Expose 1,250 Agents Who ‘Aren’t Paying Their Own Taxes’
Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) called for an audit of the IRS on Wednesday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow while referencing a 2019 report published by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration identifying 1,250 cases of agency employees failing to comply with federal income tax regulations.
“Democrats want to audit Americans, and I want to audit the IRS,” Ernst said. “There was an IG report that came out that said 1,250 IRS employees were identified to have not paid their tax bill in full or on time, and more than 300 of these folks were repeat offenders. So these are tax cheats inside the IRS — they’re IRS agents, they’re revenue officers, even a criminal investigator.”
How sweet it is
