Trump's IRS Nominee Dodges Basic Law--Warren Breaks It Down Line-by-Line - Liberal Lens [View all]



In this explosive Senate hearing, Senator Elizabeth Warren confronts Trump’s IRS Commissioner nominee with Section 7217 of the U.S. Tax Code, pressing him on whether it’s legal for the president to use the IRS as a political weapon. After Trump openly vowed to revoke Harvard’s nonprofit status as revenge, Warren demanded real answers—and what she got was evasion, denial, and political cowardice.

📺 Watch as Warren literally reads the law word-for-word, exposing this nominee’s refusal to defend the IRS from abuse of power. This moment isn’t just about taxes—it’s about democracy, rule of law, and whether Trump can turn government tools into weapons against his critics.
