According to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, the Biden administration is reaching out from the ashbin of history to vex him with an IRS audit, one that the SecDef describes as a “total sham.” And, to be fair, it wouldn’t be the first time that Democrats have tried this kind of harassment.
SecDef Hegseth took to his personal X account to spread the news.
Of course the outgoing Biden IRS rushed an “audit” of the incoming SecDef. Total sham.

And one reply, interestingly, mentioned just the very person broadly accused of bringing the audit power of the IRS to bear on political adversaries: Lois Lerner.
The weaponization of government agencies has to end. I was audited twice for my political beliefs when Lois Lerner was in charge of the IRS!
Our government bureaucracies have over-stepped their boundaries, and so have the Democrats.
We MUST never back down!

Lois Lerner was investigated by Congress for weaponizing the IRS.
