Judicial Watch, the Washington watchdog that has for years been fighting to access Internal Revenue Service documents that reveal the extent of its discriminatory actions against Christians and conservatives, now is calling on President-elect Donald Trump to have his administration consider criminal counts against the much-feared federal agency.
“President Trump needs to reopen the criminal investigation of the IRS as soon as he is sworn into office,” said Tom Fitton, the president of the organization.
His comments came Wednesday as the organization confirmed it had obtained more documents in the investigation that revealed “a top IRS official admitted that Cincinnati office agents were targeting organizations requesting tax exempt status based on ‘guilty by association’ and ‘party affiliation.'”
The new documents come as part of a lawsuit Judicial Watch filed over the Freedom of Information Act requirements back in 2013.
The newly obtained documents include handwritten notes from an “unidentified source” at an IRS office meeting that apparently happened around August 2011.
