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, an assistant Treasury Department secretary and acting chief counsel of the IRS, who left his roles after raising concerns about White House influence over taxpayer audits. The White House stated Kies was not a team player but did not address the allegations of executive interference in tax enforcement.
