Democrats urge IRS watchdog to find out why a top lawyer who clashed with White House left his job

Senate Democrats are urging the IRS watchdog to investigate the departure of Kenneth Kies, a top IRS attorney who raised concerns about White House influence over taxpayer audits. Kies left his roles at the IRS after warning that political officials risked breaching a law against executive interference in tax enforcement. The White House stated Kies was not a team player but did not elaborate further.
