The Trump administration is preparing to install “allies” at the criminal investigative division of the IRS to target “major Democratic donors,” according to a report.
A list of potential targets being drawn up by a senior IRS official includes the billionaire philanthropist George Soros, who President Donald Trump has said “should be in jail,” and his Open Society Foundations, The Wall Street Journal reports. Soros and the foundations have been donors to many Democratic candidates and have been frequent targets for the right-wing base.
