A second high-ranking Internal Revenue Service (IRS) official is stepping down amid the controversy over targeting Tea Party groups.
Joseph Grant, the acting commissioner for the agency’s Tax Exempt and Government Entities division, plans to retire, according to the IRS.
An internal IRS announcement said that Grant would retire from the agency on June 3. The announcement comes one day after President Obama asked for and received the resignation of Steven Miller, the IRS’s acting commissioner, who will also leave in early June.

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today announced the selection of Joseph H. Grant as commissioner of the Tax Exempt and Government Entities Division and Sheldon Kay as Chief of Appeals.
