Blunt Wants IRS Chief's Head

May 14, 2013

Missouri Sen. Roy Blunt on Tuesday called for the removal of acting IRS chief Steven Miller "if the reports are accurate that (he) knew about the IRS's egregious targeting of conservative groups last year and misled members of Congress about those actions."

In a statement, Blunt added:

"It's become increasingly clear this was not limited to the actions of a small group of lower level employees, which is why President Obama and his administration must initiate a comprehensive and transparent investigation immediately.

"Americans deserve answers, and I join my colleagues in support of any and all congressional investigations to uncover the truth behind these shameful activities."
