Billy Long was removed from his position as IRS Commissioner less than two months after his confirmation, marking the shortest tenure for the role. His dismissal followed clashes between the IRS and the White House over the use of tax data to locate suspected undocumented immigrants. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has been appointed as the acting IRS Commissioner and has begun efforts to reform the agency. Bessent recently visited IRS headquarters in Washington, D.C., accompanied by whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joe Ziegler, who have become his advisers in the reform initiative. The ouster of Long also coincided with reported tensions involving the Treasury Department.
