| Subject: DOJ denies GOP request to reopen case against former IRS official Lois Lerner Fri Sep 08, 2017 7:24 pm | |
| he Justice Department will not be re-opening a criminal investigation to consider charging former IRS official Lois Lerner for her role in delaying non-profit status for conservative groups, the DOJ said in a letter to top members of the House Ways and Means Committee.
Lerner, former head of the IRS' exempt organizations division, became a focus for conservative groups after IRS employees delayed some applications for non-profit status based on applicants' names or policy positions. Many of those groups were conservative, such as local tea party organizations. The DOJ -- along with the Treasury Office of Inspector General -- investigated and found mismanagement at the IRS, but in 2015 determined there wasn't sufficient evidence of criminal wrongdoing to pursue criminal charges. Conservatives had hoped that President Trump's Justice Department, under Attorney General Jeff Sessions, would reconsider, and the Ways and Means Committee made such a request on April 12.
The DOJ on Friday made it clear that won't be happening. After reviewing the evidence, including information provided by the committee and the prosecutorial decisions that had been made, Assistant Attorney General Stephen Boyd notified the committee's chairman, Rep. Kevin Brady, R-Texas, and Rep. Peter Roskam, R-Illinois, a chairman of the committee's subcommittee on tax policy, that the department would not be reopening the case.
