A Republican senator has asked the IRS to investigate a group for alleged ties to Hamas and questioned its nonprofit status.

In a letter to IRS Commissioner Billy Long, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) asked the IRS to look into the nonprofit status of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and investigate whether it has ties to the Hamas terrorist group and the Muslim Brotherhood.
