The Internal Revenue Service has begun to share information on key Trump campaign officials with Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation.
The sharing comes after months of stand-off between the two entities, CNN reports. That clash was prompted by concerns about how far-reaching and broad Mueller's requests to the IRS were.
But, one source told CNN, the IRS's criminal division is now sharing information with Mueller's investigation. A number of Trump campaign staff have been the focus of the records requests, most notably former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and former National Security Adviser Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn.
The information shared would include anything tax-related, including real estate and bank records. Normally, a Department of Justice official told CNN, the IRS would need a specific grand jury subpoena to share this kind of information with another agency.
In addition to its involvement with the Russia investigation, the IRS has been working with the FBI since before the election to investigate Manafort in a probe centering on possible money laundering and tax fraud. It is unclear whether or not Flynn has been the subject of a similar investigation.

And who is investigating the IRS for targeting conservative groups?
Oh, I guess that wasn’t important...
This is SO illegal. Where is Jeff Sessions sleeping these days? His office? Cracker Barrel?
Maybe he is working somewhere, but sure is not apparent.
“Desperately Fishing for Russians.”
He is busy giving speeches...on free speech. He was on Hannity today. Did not hear the whole interview, but I did not hear Hannity grilling Sessions about his inaction. :(
So clearly the IRS only cooperates with political investigations that they want to see happen...the ones that target Republicans
Trump tax information will be released to the scum enemedia in 3... 2... 1...
IRS would have given out his tax info by now if it hurt him.
No surprise. They probably sold information to Equifax,too. They certainly broke the law when dealing with TEA Party members, and nothing ever happened to Lois Lerner.
That in itself makes my blood boil.
That kind of tyrannical crap is far beyond taxes on tea. The worst part is that most of the POS SOBs from Justice,FBI and IRS are f-ing OBAMA HOLDOVERS!. I love President Trump but he can be blind to critical issues within his administration because of swamp creatures that we can see plain as day and the AG is worthless.

I think this may be more an issue of felony collusion.
Normally.....my eye
DJT had better shut this witch hunt down while he still can
Usually, if you find what you are looking for you quit digging. And if you don’t find anything you KEEP DIGGING....
The lack of any evidence whatsoever of a crime at this point indicates he GOT NADA on Trump. They will have to settle for targets like Manafort.
We may have the majority but Democrats control it all.
I’m so glad bulldog Sessions is in there fighting. Yeah...uh huh.
Sessions....worst AG in history....
When you go after the king you better kill him. PDJT will punish these pos swampers you watch. Mueller will be squashed like a bug!

Epic times.
