House Oversight Ranking Member Elijah Cummings (D-MD) called on Republicans at a Wednesday hearing not to exploit the IRS scandal for a “partisan attack.”
“As we investigate the actions of irs employees, I urge my colleagues to avoid making the investigation into a partisan attack,” he said.
Cummings added: “It is also time to revisit a 1959 regulation and returning to the original standard set forth in the statute that bans political activity by these groups all together, which is what Congress originally intended.”
