New IRS Chief Clashes With Republicans Over Tea Party Probe Scandal

IRS Commissioner John Koskinen says he wants the investigation finished soon

The new chief of the embattled IRS and Republicans clashed on Wednesday over the tea party-targeting controversy that has dogged the agency since last year.

IRS Commissioner John Koskinen said a top "priority" for the IRS would be to move beyond the blight of its extra scrutiny of conservative groups, to focus on taxpayer services, Obamacare and implementing a law to clamp down on foreign tax evasion.
