IRS Official Once in Charge of Unit Looking Into Tax-Exempt Organizations Now Head of Obamacare Unit

The acknowledgement comes after the administration announced that the official's successor -- who had only been on the job a few days -- would be retiring. And it fueled criticism of the agency, as the outgoing IRS commissioner prepared to face lawmakers' questions at a hearing Friday morning.
