A conservative legal group filed a lawsuit to demand materials from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), demanding that the tax agency hand over alleged records “regarding the Biden administration’s plans for race-based tax audits.”

America First Legal (AFL), which was started by Stephen Miller, an aide to former President Donald Trump, filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against both the IRS and the U.S. Treasury Department to “compel compliance” with a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request that it had opened in February. Neither the IRS nor the Treasury Department has complied with the request, the group alleged, accusing the agencies of “unlawfully concealing records.”
