The White House said Monday it would veto a GOP-backed bill that passed in the House that would cut $72 billion from the Internal Revenue Services to hire thousands of staff and agents.

“Far from protecting middle-class families or small businesses, H.R. 23 protects wealthy tax cheats at the expense of honest, middle-class taxpayers,” the White House said in a statement after the bill was passed.
