IRS’s Lois Lerner Tried To Audit GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley Over Email Mix-up
Investigators in Congress discovered new emails from Lois Lerner Wednesday revealing the former IRS Exempt Organizations director’s attempt to audit GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley in 2012 over an email mixup.
According to the Associated Press, Lerner mistakenly received an email invitation to an event in December of that year meant for Grassley, who presumably received Lerner’s.
The invitation from the organizer reportedly included an offer to pay for the attendance of Grassley’s wife, should the two be interested in coming. Upon reading Grassley’s invitation mistakenly sent to Lerner, the IRS official accused of unjustifiably targeting conservative tea party organizations’ tax exempt status forwarded the email to another IRS employee, and inquired about a possible audit of the Iowa senator.
Lerner speculated it could be inappropriate for the organizer to pay for Grassley’s wife to attend.
The second IRS official dismissed Lerner’s suggestion, and said an audit would be a premature action.
