The Democrats on the House Ways and Mean Committee have sent a letter to Republicans on the committee, urging Rep. Dave Camp (R-MI), the chairman of the committee, to bring the IRS inspector general back before to Congress, according to The Washington Post’s Greg Sargent.

Democrats want a chance to ask Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration J. Russell George the questions they have raised about the report that set off the IRS scandal. 

“It is now evident that the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration’s May 14, 2012 audit report titled ‘Inappropriate Criteria Were Used to Identify Tax-Exempt Applications for Review’ is fundamentally flawed,” the letter reads. “We request that you immediately ask Mr. George to return to the Committee and answer questions under oath regarding all of these matters.”
