Former President Donald Trump attempted to weaponize the Internal Revenue Service and repeatedly asked his former chief of staff to have the agency investigate his political opponents, a new report found.that his one-time boss demanded him to “get the IRS on” former FBI director James Comey and his deputy Andrew McCabe after the men criticized him.
Kelly, who was chief of staff from July 2017 through January 2019, said the requests were in addition to Trump’s more widely-reported attempts to use the Justice Department against his critics.Kelly tried to explain the morality of the request he was making to the former president.Kelly said Trump ignored that belief and continued to push others to take revenge on his critics through their governmental authorities and powers.
Trump told the outlet that he knows nothing about the audits of Comey’s and McCabe’s taxes. Officials said the two men were chosen randomly, though the IRS has asked its inspector general to investigate. Kelly also revealed the other investigations the former president tried opening up against some of his outspoken critics.The former president publicly slammed Comey and McCabe on a regular basis during his term.
