Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee are calling for a probe of the gun rights group after numerous allegations of financial misconduct emerged.
A chorus of Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee is now calling for an investigation into the National Rifle Association’s tax-exempt status after an explosive report from The New Yorker detailed alleged financial improprieties at the gun rights organization.
The House Ways and Means Committee is the primary tax-writing committee of the House of Representatives and has jurisdiction over issues relating to nonprofits and tax-exempt entities. “I support Rep. Schneider’s call for an IRS investigation into reported abuses at the NRA,” Congressman Don Beyer told Newsweek. “Given the organization in question I am neither surprised nor disappointed by the latest revelations. Political patronage should not protect supposed ‘nonprofits’ whose executives are living the high life off of tax deductible donations.”
“These potential improprieties by the NRA are deeply disturbing and are worth looking into,” Congressman Tom Suozzi told Newsweek. “I support Congressman Schneider’s call for the IRS commissioner to examine whether the NRA should be considered a tax exempt organization.”
