Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Commissioner John Koskinen
appeared before the House Ways and Means Committee today as part of
the committee’s investigation into the IRS for targeting
conservative tax-exempt groups for extra scrutiny.
The appearance came a week after the agency informed
congressional investigators that it had lost emails from Lois
Lerner, a central figure in the investigation, in a hard drive
crash, and could not produce documents from six other employees as
well—despite having known that the records were lost since
February.
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) was not pleased, accusing the IRS of a
“pattern of abuse” with regards to the investigation. “I don’t
believe you,” Ryan said.
