McConnell, Braun to roll out bill to prevent Democrats from 'weaponizing' IRS to target conservatives
Fox News
EXCLUSIVE: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Republican Sen. Mike Braun are rolling out a measure Thursday that would prevent Democrats from “weaponizing” the Internal Revenue Service to target conservatives, by codifying a Trump-era rule that would protect groups regardless of their political ideology, and prevent the agency from doxing donors, Fox News has learned.
The bill would, though, require the tax-exempt groups to report to the IRS the amounts of donations from their substantial donors, while maintaining the names and addresses of those donors for their own records. Sources familiar with the legislation said the removal of the requirement to report the names and addresses of donors would help protect taxpayers’ First Amendment rights, while noting that such information is not needed for tax administration purposes.More Related News
