Jake Tapper clashes with GOP lawmaker over effort to repeal IRS agents funding: 'Why not just be honest?’
Fox News
In a heated exchange, CNN anchor Jake Tapper clashed with Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., over Republican claims that new IRS funding would lead to 87,000 "agents."
However, members of the media have challenged the GOP's characterization that the money would have led to the hiring of 87,000 new "agents." Joseph A. Wulfsohn is a media reporter for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to joseph.wulfsohn@fox.com and on Twitter: @JosephWulfsohn.
On Tuesday's installment of "The Lead," CNN's Jeremy Diamond accused Republicans of "going after an army that doesn't exist," citing liberal fact-checks that "debunk" GOP claims, stressing that funding will go to IRS employees, not all necessarily "agents," spanning years.
