U.S. tax commissioner Charles Rettig will face questions from legislators over how two former FBI officials vilified by former President Donald Trump were targeted for intensive tax audits, lawmakers and the Internal Revenue Service said on Monday.
The Senate Finance Committee will hold a closed-door hearing on July 26 into the circumstances of tax audits for former FBI director James Comey and FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe, said Senator Ron Wyden, the panel's chairman, in an emailed statement.
The IRS chief last week asked the U.S. Treasury's Inspector General for Tax Administration to investigate how both men were selected for National Research Program audits, which some tax professionals call "audits from Hell" because of their intensive nature.
