IRS TARGETING SCANDAL
WIKIPEDIA   -  2013 IRS controversy   

In 2013, the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) revealed that it had selected political groups applying for tax-exempt status for closer scrutiny based on their names or political themes. This led to wide condemnation of the agency and triggered several investigations, including a Federal Bureau of Investigation criminal probe ordered by United States Attorney General Eric Holder.^[1][2] Initial reports described the selections as nearly exclusively of conservative groups with terms such as "Tea Party" in their names. Further investigation revealed that liberal-leaning groups and the Occupy movement had also triggered additional scrutiny,^[3][4][5][6] but not at nearly the same rate as conservative groups.^[7][8][9] The only tax-exempt status denial by the IRS involved the revocation of a previously granted tax-exempt status for a progressive group.^[10] The use of target lists continued through May 2013.^{[11]
