Wyden Statement on Trump IRS Chief Counsel Nomination
Washington, D.C. - Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Ron Wyden, D-Ore., issued the following statement today on the Trump administration's nomination of Jim Gadwood to serve as IRS chief counsel:
"Any nominee willing to be a part of Trump's corruption of the IRS and industrial-scale violation of taxpayer privacy laws will face a lot of tough questions, particularly on the sweetheart audit immunity deal Trump handed himself and his family. As always, this nominee needs to go through the Finance Committee's rigorous vetting process."
