IRS Chief Resigns Over Tax Politics | US News
Description
Top IRS lawyer Ken Kies is stepping down after refusing to comply with White House requests to manipulate audits — citing a key law that shields the tax system from political interference. Kies, who previously served as Trump’s tax lawyer and helped push through key tax policies, clashed with administration officials over controversial tax breaks and even resisted efforts to shield Trump and his businesses from investigations. A federal judge recently tossed out a settlement he helped navigate, calling it a sham. Trump has now nominated another of his former attorneys to replace him — signaling a continued push to reshape the IRS’s direction.
