| Description | WASHINGTON—U.S. President Barack Obama moved to neutralize the stench of scandal swirling at the margins of his administration Wednesday night, firing the head of the IRS after the tax agency admitted its auditors unfairly targeted tea party groups.
Announcing the dismissal of Steven Miller as acting head of what is arguably the most detested branch of the U.S. government, a visibly angry Obama pledged further steps would follow to ensure the “inexcusable” breach of public trust would never happen again.
Miller learned last May of the probes of tax-exemption applications targeting a wide range of conservative political groups, but did not disclose the fact until last Friday, when he issued a public apology on behalf of the revenue agency. |
