IRS Commissioner of Large Business and International Division Holly Paz – Lerner’s then-deputy – was placed on leave last week as lawmakers drew attention to a subordinate work-unit aimed at auditing pass-through businesses that Biden-era Commissioner Danny Werfel had created and assigned her to lead. He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
Werfel called the new work-unit a big step in "ensur[ing] the IRS holds the nation’s wealthiest filers accountable," and Paz called it an "important change" in the IRS structure. Charles covers media, politics and culture for Fox News Digital.
