DAILY SIGNAL: A former top deputy to Lois Lerner, the former director of the IRS Exempt Organizations division and a central figure in the 2013 IRS targeting scandal, now runs one of the primary operating divisions of the IRS, according to a report from the American Accountability Foundation.
The report alleges that Holly Paz “seems to have been rewarded by the Biden Administration for her partisan loyalty with one of the IRS’ most powerful positions.” Though Paz was placed on administrative leave for her involvement in the 2013 targeting scandal, she is now the agency’s commissioner of the Large Business and International Division, according to the IRS website and a publicly available IRS organization chart.
American Accountability Foundation President Thomas Jones previously wrote a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent that called for Paz’s termination in March. “Paz has proved undeserving of the honor to serve the American public,” Jones wrote, adding that the organization “implores the Trump administration to root out any anti-conservative partisan bias at the IRS.” [READ MORE]
