President Trump sent shockwaves throughout Washington, DC after making Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent the acting IRS Commissioner. Now, we may know why.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump removed Internal Revenue Service Commissioner Billy Long from the position and installed Bessent. Long had been in the job for less than two months.
As a consolation, Long was awarded the U.S. Ambassadorship to Iceland, not exactly a plum position.
But it was either Iceland or the unemployment line. The Washington Post reported Saturday that Long was booted from his position after he refused to hand over certain taxpayer data on suspected illegal aliens.
The paper says the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) sent the IRS a list on Thursday containing 40,000 names of people DHS officials believed were in the country illegally. They reportedly asked the IRS to use ‘confidential’ taxpayer data to verify their addresses.
The Treasury Department, which oversees the IRS, previously agreed with the DHS to facilitate such data sharing. Long and other IRS officials, though, claimed they were able to verify fewer than 3% of the names.
Then, White House officials requested additional information on the taxpayers the IRS identified, specifically the earned income tax credit. Long refused to cough up this information, telling officials that his agency would not provide such taxpayer information outside of the IRS’s agreement with DHS.

THANK YOU MR. PRESIDENT FOR OUR DAILY DOSE OF "SHOCKWAVES"
Yes I'm yelling.
Still no enforcement actions against those who employ illegals.
Good thing my other hand is full. /s
AIDING-——ABETTING-——HARBORING
Well, it's no longer your agency dumbass. So cough THAT up.
Report: President Trump Fired IRS Commissioner After He Defied Orders...Is all that needed to be said.
Billy Boy, you committed insubordination. Hope you never work again.
Oh, well, Iceland is very nice this time of year. They’re about due for another volcanic eruption...
Mixed feelings on this one. Having the IRS “cough up” confidential information is a really, really bad precedent.
It’s bad enough that IRS has it. Just wait ‘til the Dems are in a position to do same for a different purpose...
FAFO.
There are already rules about when the IRS can cough up information.
The only agency that can stiff people for information is the Census Bureau, and we've already determined that they've gone corrupt, too.
Put me in charge, President Trump. 😁
That guy likes to talk.
Guarantee Long listened to his General Counsel.
BS. The persons in question were ILLEGALS. Legal residents have nothing to worry about. If you think Rats have not already weaponized IRS, you need to drink some coffee.
Yep. Only the Dems do it for partisan reasons.
