Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) said on Sept. 14 that the Treasury inspector general for tax administration (TIGTA) has agreed to update a 2019 investigation that found hundreds of IRS employees with overdue or unpaid tax bills.

Ernst made public an Aug. 30 letter she received from TIGTA J. Russell George agreeing with her request that he open the new probe. A copy of the George letter was made available to The Epoch Times.
