Senate Democrats are calling for an investigation into Kenneth Kies, the acting chief counsel of the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS), who was fired after reportedly clashing with the White House over audits.
A group of Senate Democrats sent a letter to the US Treasury Department questioning whether Kies lost his job for refusing to follow White House instructions, according to reports.
Kenneth Kies is the acting chief counsel of the IRS. His dismissal has drawn attention due to the reported conflict over audit decisions.
Kies has been described by the Wall Street Journal as a "Top Treasury Tax Official" and by Reuters as a "Top US tax lawyer," reflecting different emphasis on his role in different news outlets.
The push for an investigation is the latest development in a series of events surrounding the ousted IRS lawyer, whose termination occurred.
